Just do what a browser is doing: read the web page as text into a String.
But instead of displaying, search inside the string for the dollar rate and extract that substring.

To read a webpage as String, you can use methods of class HttpURLConnecti on

I just posted this in another thread, but it applies as well to you. To paraphrase:

I bet, if you look around, you will find an appropriate web service. If you don't know about WS, once you do a little swotting, you'll see they're easier to interact with and more reliable that web page scraping.
