Extracting texts from an element in a HTML page using Jsoup - html

Question

I am extracting texts from the following html element
<span class="adr" style="float: none !important;">
<span class="street-address" style="float: none !important;">18, Jawaharlal Nehru
Road,
</span>
<span style="float: none !important;" class="estb_addr-HeadingTxt">
<a style="float: none !important;" href="http://kolkata.burrp.com/area/park-street" class="locality"> Park Street</a></span>
, Kolkata<span class="region" style="display: none;">Kolkata
</span>
</span>
For that I wrote the following piece of code:
for (Element element : doc.getAllElements())
{
for(Element childelem: element.children())
{
if (childelem.hasText() && !childelem.ownText().isEmpty())
{
String currText=childelem.ownText();
System.out.print(currText+" ");
}
}
System.out.println("");
}
Ideally the output should be 18, Jawaharlal Nehru Road, Park Street, Kolkata. But it is giving 18, Jawaharlal Nehru Road, Kolkata and Park Street. I can understand that the output is basically inorder traversal of the DOM tree rooted at outer <span>. But I don't know exactly how to achieve that by Jsoup, where a DOM tree for an element in a HTML page has arbitrary levels of nesting.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Use either DOM navigation or CSS-selector syntax to do the task, do not loop through all Elements.
Element adr = doc.select("span.adr").first().
System.out.println(adr.text());
