                public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2,
                        long arg3) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                    if (arg2 == 1) {
                          webview.loadUrl("http://docs.google.com/gview?embedded=true&url=" + filename);
                    }

I'am getting this warning "Using setJavaScriptEnabled can introduce XSS vulnerabilities into you application, review carefully." – youssef abaza Dec 17 '14 at 10:31
this is the feature of webview you will have to enable javaScript. – Rituraj suman Dec 17 '14 at 10:32
it says on the device "webpage is unavailable" – youssef abaza Dec 17 '14 at 10:39
No problem I fixed it, I forgot to add the permission to the manifest – youssef abaza Dec 17 '14 at 11:02
