Is it possible to use GoogleFinanceAPI on Android?

I've been searching around for a definitive answer but have yet to find one. It seems as though the simple answer is "no" because the GoogleAPIs use too many Java classes that aren't included in Android.

If that's the case then I need to ask another question: what is the best way to parse information from "http://www.google.com/finance/" ?

A: 

This paper can be of some help:

Do you know what version of the Google data library they are referring to when they say, "Most of the logic used in both the applications[referring to a desktop client as opposed to an Android client] is the same, except that we have to use a differentversion of Google data library and the containers and functions have to be written using the constructsprovided by the android application development kit."Thank you.

I have no idea. From this thread we see that your question can be answered - http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~nieh/teaching/e6998/ubb/Forum8/HTML/000004.html So, yes, you can use GoogleFinanceAPI on Android. Have you read the tutorial? http://code.google.com/apis/finance/docs/2.0/developers_guide_java.html#GettingStarted
