I am developing an Android application which will open Word & excel file. Does anyone done similar before. Please provide some links or demos.
In Iphone if we give path for doc file or xls file to UIWebView it opens it. But it doesn't work in Android. So does any one know way to do this.
Thank You.
The application Polaris Office is installed on my Samsung Galaxy S 2 by the carrier. And does just that (+ powerpoint).

I'm facing an issue where in some android phones my .apk file is downloaded as .zip. I run a android game which can be downloaded from my website. I have created my website using wordpress Ocean WP theme with the help of elementor. What could be the reason for this. I tried modify the htaccess file in public.html folder but that's not working instead it stop access to my other website pages. Please let me know if any one knows the reason for this. Thanks
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 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 created a PDF with some files attached and links (in fact annotations) to these files:
When I open the PDF from my computer with Acrobat Reader I'm able to open all files either by clicking directly on the "Attachments" column or clicking on the links (annotations).
But when I try to do the same on mobile (iOS, Android or WP) via Acrobat Reader application (I also tried with Foxit App and few others) it doesn't work:
I can't access to the attachments column
When I clicked on the links (annotations) nothing happen
So, I want to know if someone know a mobile application (no matter of the OS) that is able to open/access to the attachments in a PDF ?
Thank you.
Gerald.
File attachments and other annotations are beyond the scope of most (if not any) mobile PDF viewer. You might have to look around to find a viewer which offers to support these objects; maybe you are lucky.
PDF viewers for mobile devices do evolve quite rapidly, so, things may change within the next few months…
and if this application exist does it has an open API?
nop theres no API to support that, and this is the only way that I Know

An app like QuickOffice or Documents To Go comes on every Android I've seen. If it already has the app then the following should work: Android Launching an application chooser with appropriate list of applications
