I have this link that shows how to open any file in Android : http://www.androidsnippets.com/open-any-type-of-file-with-default-intent.html

Also, there is a similar case, which is done by PDF file : Android : how to open pdf file from server in android

I hope these links will work for you.

Good Luck, G.
