  Problem Statement As numberof users accessing World Wide Web using smart phones is growing exponentially there is an urgent need to address issues related this mode of access. Some of these issues includes limited display space, quick access to ‘only’ relevant information etc. which can be addressed using Web scraping.

  Approach to theSolution  Wordpress is the most extensively used Content Management System. So we decided to develop a solution for Web Scraping based information retrieval from Wordpress web pages.  Thereby we have chosen android application to serve the purpose. Android is the world's most widely used Smartphone platform. Android's share of the global smart phone market, led by Samsung products, was 64% in March 2013. In July 2013 there were 11,868 different Android devices, scores of screen sizes and eight OS versions simultaneously in use.
