I want to show a pdf (preferably) or a word document in my app; like a privacy notice screen. Many applications have it, so it should be possible. i tried loading a simple text file as a start but doesn’t provide formatting, fonts or trade mark symbols. I’ve gone through a few posts but I couldn’t apply it to my app. Could anyone tell me how is it done? Could I store the file somewhere in res folder and provide a path to open it through my code? I looked into the following link but I’m not sure if that’s the right approach in my case android: open a pdf from my app using the built in pdf viewer.

    Android does not support opening PDF and DOC files natively. You’d have to make your own implementation.

    Like t0mm13b said, you should consider using HTML (+ CSS) instead and use a WebView.
