Get price of a stock programmaticallly

Question

I am looking to fetch the price of bse and nse stocks(India) programmatically in android. I have looked at:

how to get stock price of NSE market per 10 sec for web application in stock portfolio in android?

and a couple of other sites but the source code to do this is not available anywhere. How do I do it? (The 20 minute delay is acceptable and not an issue).

Are there any good sites that explain how to achieve this?

USE Yahoo.finannce service. It will come in CSV file. Each file you can read after passing Company name like:

BHEL.NS means BHEL Nifty:

If you get only nifty Sensex Live price It will generate Like:

It will be easy I had done in my app.

First find out service which you can access to get NSE stock prices. This link will help you to access web service through android app. Just give appropriate values for SOAP_ACTION, OPERATION_NAME, WSDL_TARGET_NAMESPACE and SOAP_ADDRESS.
Check this link.
