  1. Depending on your requirements, using the Google Docs Viewer might be a viable option. It's certainly plenty versatile.

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

  3. WebView mWebView = (WebView) findViewById( R.id.WebView01);
    String pdfurl = ""; // Url of pdf or doc file.

    String weblink="http://docs.google.com/gview?embedded=true&url="+pdfurl;
    mWebView.loadUrl(weblink);

  4. Some of them can open using default activity with ACTION_VIEW. For other we have to external API to open them. But i am not sure which one will definitely open using ACTION_VIEW but you can give a try to them by using URI.


    But most important thing as Saurabh Pareek said there is not native classes in
    android

  5. There are some Apps therefor, try DocumentsToGo or OfficeSuite Professional 5. The Pro Version of Quick Office will do that too.

  6. You can use 3rd-party apps that are installed on the Android device and use the Intents that they make available.

  7. You can use a mobile office tool such as QuickOffice or convert PPT to video.

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
