There are some topics about this question but they are old and I can't believe there isn't a solution for this.
I have made an HTML file and placed it in the Download directory from Android.
When I try to open the file in Chrome, Firefox or Opera I get an error: file:///storage/emulated/0/Download/mysite.html
We are living in 2021 and I can't believe this isn't possible.
Maybe Tasker can help?
3 Options that can work, depending of the content of your file:
You can use a local web server in your Android phone itself. There are many server apps out there in the Play Store, one such app is Simple HTTP Server.
You can put your documents into the folder Android/data/com.android.chrome/files/Download/ in the internal storage. It's absolute path is /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.android.chrome/files/Download/ or /sdcard/Android/data/com.android.chrome/files/Download/. This is the location where Chrome stores any downloaded files and therefore, this is the only location where Chrome can access the files. But remember, uninstalling Chrome will delete this directory.
Also you can download a HTML Viewer to open your file.

How can we display PDF Files on BB/iOS/Android and Windows phone by using MobileFirst (MobileFirst Studio) ? These PDF actually exists in DB as binary files.
Is there any API given by IBM?
MobileFirst does not (and should not) provide API to display a PDF file.
I am not sure this will possible in BlackBerry, but you can google for BlackBerry API or Cordova API to display it.
As for Windows Phone it seems that if you will provide a direct URL to the PDF file the default PDF reader should be able to display it, according to: Opening a PDF file in Windows Phone - so that means you can use the window.open JS API to open the URL to the PDF file.

Just you need a Browser in this case.

I am going to write an android app, which will contain a PDF file (included with in the application). My task is, when i click a button , pdf file should open . PDf file is placed in assets/raw (not sure where to place ).
Can any one help on this...
Thanks in advance
You can open pdf via webview and google docs.
You should use
WebView.loadUrl("http://docs.google.com/gview?embedded=true&url=www.site.com/file.pdf");
I would use a PDF Renderer to convert the file to a Bitmap. Otherwise, you would have to use another application to open the file, or the option that Walter gave you. Here is an example using a different library for rendering a PDF using Java.

I have been searching for an API for android to open and view .doc, .ppt, .docx or .pptx.
I'm sure there should be one as there exist applications that can open these file format. I have found apache POI but it uses java awt which is not a part of android.
Even an API to convert these file format to .pdf will be useful.
There isn't a standard API for opening office files in Android. The applications you've found use an internal API for reading the files. They either do this in the device or they upload the file to a server, which is responsible for parsing the file and convert it to a format that is easier read from the Android client.
You can only do so if your phone comes with an application such as Quickoffice, and in those cases, you will be opening it in that application through your application.
