Link Preview

Fork developed by @Broadbear.

This a version for Java of Leonardo Cardoso's web Facebook Link Preview.

It makes a preview from an url, grabbing all information. Such as title, relevant texts and images.

The goal of this fork is to create a version of Leonardo's link preview in Java that is independent of Android plumbing, and can be plugged into server-side projects built with a Java stack.

Note - Required Libs: jsoup to parse the html code.
