How to display documents like ppt, pdf in Android app without internet

Question

I want to display PDF,PPT, EXCEL, WORD documents with in my application. The files are already stored in sdcard and I want to open these docs even if there is no internet connection.

I found many posts saying to use either Google docs or any pre installed app. I do not want these solutions, because it does not match my requirement. Because my doc should be opened in a custom layout within my application.

I tried with APV (AndroidPdfViewer) for showing pdf. But its Zoom functionality is not working properly. And I used OlivePhone's OfficeDemo for ppt and all. But its JAR files are of big size and I'm getting the error 'Conversion to Dalvik format failed with error 1 Solution?'.

Is there any working solution for these? Please help me.. Thanking you in advance....

Answer 1

No, there is no native API provided by android, you can use some third party APIs to read ppt,pdf and all.

some third party API's are:

Google Docs Viewer

officeSuite professional 6

Answer 2

You have to install any third party applications. Otherwise no way. Example QuickOffice , OfficeSuite and Document to Go
