How to open word documents using cordova Inappbrowser?

I struck with the opening word document, PPT by using cordova inappbrowser.

Solution

  • The ideal way to do this is to use plugins like cordova-plugin-file-transfer to download the file into device and cordova-plugin-file-opener2 to open it using the default app in the device, for a specific file type.

    If you really need to open it using a web view or inappbrowser, the best way would be to use external services like google docs. See following example
