Question

I have a .doc file saved on my sdcard. I need to read the content of .doc file and show it in a TextView.

Can anyone please tell me how to do this?

Sorry my mistake. You need to do this.

public void onCreate(Bundle b) {
    super.onCreate(b);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    String extPath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() + File.Separator;
    InputStream inputStream = assetManager.open(extPath + "file.doc");
    String text = loadFile(inputStream);
    TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txtv);
    tv.setText(text);
}

public String loadFile(InputStream inputStream) {
    ByteArrayOutputStream b = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    byte[] bytes = new byte[4096];
    int length = 0;
    while () {
        b.write(bytes, 0, length);
    }
    return new String(b.toByteArray(), "UTF8");
}
