Hello everyone, just want to ask if it is possible to play an ms powerpoint file within b4a application. My project in mind is to create an app that will browse a ppt file from an sdcard and control the slide navigation(next, back, First slide and Last slide)..hope there is a way to do it. Any help is much appreciated.

Kind Regards,
microbox

Dim i As Intent
Dim PowerPointSample As String

File.Copy(File.DirAssets, "MxAgCrProd.ppt", File.DirDefaultExternal, "MxAgCrProd.ppt")

PowerPointSample = "file:///" & File.Combine(File.DirDefaultExternal, "MxAgCrProd.ppt")

i.Initialize(i.ACTION_VIEW, PowerPointSample)

'i.SetComponent("com.dataviz.docstogo/com.dataviz.dxtg.sstg.control.android.SlideShowToGoActivity")
i.SetType("application/vnd.ms-powerpoint")
i.AddCategory("android.intent.category.DEFAULT")

StartActivity(i)
