File URI
Wed, 12/10/2008 - 14:52 — peli
Basic URI:
file://
File location.
The file URI can point to files on the file system. It is not tied to a specific MIME type. The MIME type can be infered in most cases from the extension provided by the file URI.
Note: File paths on the Android file system start with "/", e.g. "/sdcard". The corresponding file URI can be obtained by prepending "file://", i.e. "file:///sdcard". To recover the original file path, remove the leading "file://".

View Data
Hi peli,
what if i want to display a notepad file or a word file using the HTMLViewer activity. Is it possible to view the word and pdf file in android using some default application like HTMLViewer. Because in g1 if you open an email with word or pdf attachment, it does open that file. I am trying this code and it open the HTMLViewer activity but displays a blank white page.
Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
Uri data = Uri.parse("file://" + file.getAbsolutePath());
String type = "application/*";
intent.setDataAndType(data, type);
startActivity(intent);
Do you know the answer of this quesiton?
Thanks,
Payal
File viewer
As far as I know there is no PDF or Word document viewer pre-installed on the G1. In case you open them from your Gmail account in the browser, they are actually rendered on the server, and only the corresponding HTML is displayed in the browser. I don't think the HTMLViewer activity can display Word or PDF files without a server back-end.
In your sample code above, in order to launch a specific activity, you probably need to specify the MIME type. I don't know if "application/*" is enough. Then again, probably there is no viewer installed (or available?) yet for the application MIME types you are looking for.

So you mean there is no way we can view the word files and pdf files?
No easy way
Let's say, there is no quick and easy way that I know of. If you google for it, there are Java PDF converters that could be ported to Android, and probably one can find something similar for Word documents (from the OpenOffice project). Maybe there are online services that can display these documents as HTML format. I'm sure there will be PDF and Word viewers sooner or later for Android, but I don't know of any so far. (If there are some, please let me know).
