  • See this answer, it provides an example of how to open a PDF file via an intent, any PDF-supporting apps will respond and the user can then select one. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2923265/android-how-do-i-open-another-app-from-my-app – Ollie C Oct 25 '10 at 19:09

All you can do is, emit intent of specified MIME type. Android will handle what application(s) is capable to open it.

Something like this solution should work: View MS office files in an android application
