I have one doubt regarding reading an Excel file in Android.
I have a button in XML file. When that button is clicked, it has to open the Excel file, which was there in my downloads, only for viewing purposes. Is it possible without using parsing techniques, converting Excel to sqlite?
I don't think that there is any way to directly convert excel to sqlite as there isn't any direct relationship between them but to read any excel file in android you can use this.
There is no inbuilt implementation from android.

Recently i am working with reading excel file and need to show it on android view.
I have even tried with both the java libraries say apache poi and jexcel api which helps
in parsing excel sheet in java but failed to parse in android when i tried.
I am even tried with converting excel to xml,than parse the xml and show the contents
on android view but for this i have needed convertor which converts .xls to .xml.
Can anybody help me in parsing excel file in android.
Thanks And Regards

jxl can be used in Android but it only supports xls format not xlsx.
While poi supports both. But when used in Android, you can only read xls file using HSSFWorkbook. For reading xlsx file you need XSSFWorkbook, but there is a issue when using XSSFWorkbook in Android (see this).
I am going to develop an android application like foxit reader .In my application i need to find the indexes in pdf file ..please help me how can i found the indexes in pdf file programmatic ally .....
You can download PDFbox API to read PDF from here.
I want to open an Excel file from an SDCARD on an Android phone. Which API should I use?
I think you have to use an API such as JExcelApi
I have no experience with this API but apparently you can use it with Android.
I think you'll still want to use the JExcelApi to read the contents of the file. As far as displaying the data on an Android device you'll probably want to look at TableLayout. Here is an answer outlining TableLayout to create a spreadsheet type display. This could also be done by reading the Excel file contents into HTML and displaying the HTML in a WebView
