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.

what should I do to see this pdf in my application itself ?
Lots of sources for opening/ editing pdf(not sure from your question) on stackoverflow
1.) Use an intent to open a pdf - it ll open using an existing pdf viewer installed
2.) Take a look at
PDF Library for Android - PDFBox?
Android PDF Rendering
for open source libraries, commercial ones etc.,
Basically pdf and android dont go well together from a developer standpoint
I am working on an application in which i have to read downloaded pdf file inside my application without using any external application.
By googling i found that there is one library named iText which is open Source but the problem is i don't know how to use this library inside my application to read the pdf. So can you please provide me any sample code by which i can understand how to use this library..
Thanks to all..
you have to add the pdf library.
There is already a library and some more.

I had used VuDroid it uses NDK and you can find source here
There are other libraries as well that you can use ...just google it. But it worked for me successfully.

How to create pdf files on android
I have a program that asks the user for information, then I need to put this information on a document/contract. I think I would like to create a pdf file with that information using itext (other alternate ways would also be appreciated). Although, I found that the itext version is not built (at least the free version) for android. My only solution is to create a server, send this information to a server that creates the pdf and then sends the pdf back to my phone. I have no idea how to do this. Or if anyone knows how to make an itext version for android.
Welcome to stackoverflow. Search your problem well before reaching out.
If you want to do this on the server you can create a simple PHP script that generates the PDF for you.
Just Google for PHP generate PDF and it will give you a lot of links.
If you want to do the pdf generation on the device you can leverage a java library that does it for you. try this stackoverflow link create pdf files on Android
I read in some blog post that OpenXML4J have a Android Library for reading .DOCX file in Android and with help of that we can easily edit, read and create DOCX format.
My questions are:
Is it possible?
Using same code as I use in OpenXML4J will create DOCX? Is there a library in DocX4j for android?
From my experience I am pretty sure this should be all possible. And you do not need an android specific jar a regular one works fine since its the same java working on it
