I have no idea where to start, and can't find a decent, or at least understandable tutorial how to do it. Im still new to android (and coding in any matter) but i need to create and app that opens a pdf file (CV in my case) and reads phone number and email from it. Any ideas (tutorial links) how to do it? :)
You could use iText library: http://itextpdf.com/
In FAQ, there's a question: "Can I extract/parse information from pdf ?"

I have a EPUB File (not image list). EPUB is an open-standard file format for digital books. I want to make the Flipbook app in Android Native (not cross-platform) to read Epub file.
I hope that you can give me solutions, ideas or keywords to resolve this problem.
Really thank you so much!
Can i not use html5 and webview to make this app??
I have a doc/ppt/xls file located in my sd card. I want to open it without any third party app (i.e within my app itself) using webview. Though I am able to open documents by embedding it in google docs url like -
http://docs.google.com/gview?embedded=true&url=[filelinkHere]
But how to open a file located in internal or external storage in webview ?
Also, Suggest me any third party ALL-IN-ONE library for android to view all types of documents. I have tried ASPOS but it has few unresolved bugs and APACHE-POI is difficult to use.
I had the same issue few days ago .
i found Android PdfViewer best to view PDF files and Android PdfMyXml best to create pdf files in android.
For working with Word and Excel as a most reliable answer I suggest you to take a look at OliveDocLibrary .
If your documents are in cloud so there is an alternative way to display docx,pptx,pdf and such formats with a combination of Webview and googleDoc.
You might find other possible solutions in server-side machines or maybe a creative way!
Hope it help
You can integrate some library project to your project with which you can open the pdf file inside your app.

I know android has http://developer.android.com/training/printing/custom-docs.html and http://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/pdf/PdfDocument.html but I'm wondering if anyone has found an easier way to print a PDF document. My app has PDF documents readily available but no easy access to the page count. Android OS requests pages to be printed from your PDF document. Has anyone found a succinct way to just hand Android OS their PDF document for printing?
I'm developing an application to read PDF Files.
So, that my application itself has to read pdf Files. so which library is the best to show pdf files.
I have read a dozen of related articles but I couldn't get the idea.
There is a button on the front page, by clicking that button user gets access to sdcard. all the folders are under his fingers. on opening folders if user open .pdf file , it will open other wise a toast is shown, "this is not a pdf file".
It is hard to find a free and stable library. If you are opting for free try APV PDF Viewer
Make sure you read the license if you are planning of use it.
In one of my applications where I had to display pdf files inside the app, I used radaee pdf viewer. Easy to use, deals with fonts, and maybe stable.Problem is, it is not free. You can try it for free, but you will have a water mark in every page.
Hope this helps. Pdf in android app is not a walk in the park. I think that is the main reason that there are not tons of pdf viewers in google play. Good luck.
I have searched thoroughly but m unable to reach a solution on how to make pptx viewable in my app? Is there any library which i can add or any other solution because webview doesnt support this format?
I want to access my pptx file from my sdcard.
You can use Apache POI project
Apache POI Link
One way to do will be to fire an Intent with a specific Uri, and let the phone chose an application that can open that file, if any.
