What will open RTF files?

[walterbyrd]

If you want to keep the formatting (or most of it), and open the files in Android without any special application, you can change the files to HTML.

On my PC, I open the RTF files in OpenOffice, then save the files in HTML.

I also up the font size a bit. Then I put the HTML files in dropbox, and open the HTML files on the Android.

Have you tried "CoolReader"?

i cant believe this thread got hijacked ... Cool Reader was the correct answer!

Office Suite Pro does the trick for viewing and editing.

I know this is kind of late but I thought I would go ahead and post it for those who might be looking still, I was having the same problem as you with a file in dropbox. I did not fully read the whole thread so I apologize if I repeat an answer someone already gave but I was just playing around with it and I renamed the file and all I did was change the the .rtf to a .doc and it converted itself perfectly. I also was doing this on my TF101 so I don't know if this could just be a tablet thing or not.

I just tried it and verified that OfficeSuite Pro can read and edit RTF files just fine. It has built-in integration with Dropbox too.

I tried converting to .doc, .html and a couple other things. Nothing worked.:dong:

I came across this forum thru a search for an app to read rtf files on my android phone. I was shocked to see that this question was asked a year & a half ago & here I am w/ the same problem. What's up, Google?
Anyway, in case anyone else stumbles across this forum w/ the same question, I thought I'd post that I FOUND AN APP TO READ RTF FILES. Like someone mentioned above, so often w/ Google Play this happens by accident.
There were a lot of suggestions above. Some were too specific & not a solution for the original problem: the need to view & EDIT rtf files. So that eliminates readers such as CoolReader or Multireader. I never found an app called File Share in Google Play.
The other problem for me personally is I like free apps. So that eliminated Documento, Multireader, and DEFINITELY OfficeSuite Pro, which is $15! At $15, you better be writing my docs as well. But that's just me.
So, while browsing, I came across OfficeSuite Viewer 6. It's free, and I viewed my files beautifully. I haven't tried to do anything else yet, so I can only say that. This is a true and FREE solution. Yay! (I only wonder why that was so hard to find!)

I sent my. rtf file to my Google drive. It opened it and let me edit and then saved in .pdf format. I'm okay with pdf since i can edit them no problem.

Because it is only a very limited solution: OfficeSuite Viewer 6 doesn't allow editing, saving, or save as... of .rtf files.

^Seems like a nice free solution to me. I so just downloaded a RTF file and just opened it in edit mode in OfficeSuite Pro.

2 options there, I'm sure there are plenty more options too.

After downloading the free OfficeSuite app, I am now able to read and RTF download file. I could not make this work with any other app I tried, but OfficeSuite works beautifully.

You can try Documento - office viewer . you can view RTF with him & also open file from Dropbox.

 

[irishpack]

Yeah, but still, would be cool to find something to view/edit RTF files on Android.

I know nuthin bout nuthin and not ashamed to say so....dunno anything bout dropbox, all i kinow is that i have google drive and uploaded all of my recipes on it but cant read them on my phone because they are rtf. so i got the Astro File manager, and nothing shows up when i try to pullo a doc, and i am even more confused that before.

should i just convert all my recipes to .doc or .txt on my laptop and then upload them?

you guys are great and i appreciate this forum soooo very much!

I am an iphone user and had the same problem: how to open rtf in my device. I spent tons of hours asking for some answer. Finaly i found it: EVERNOTE. I know, this app is not a reader, BUT on my device it is the only one which reads rtf.
You coud try it on your android device (avaliable in android apps), just in case...
