Read All the Files on an Android

Android is one of the most widely used operating systems across the globe. However, at times there are files types which Android is unable to open. This is considering of either of the two reasons. First, it may non have the necessary apps required to open that kind of file extension (for instance- .zip, .dng, .pdf). Second, the file type is not meant to open that, is, it cannot be modified or read (for instance- .bin, .dat).

For the 2nd type of issue, nothing can be done as it has technical stuff involved. Moreover, I don't know why anybody will open those files in the offset place. Moving on to our start reason which can be easily solved by using different types of apps available on the Google Play Store. Beneath is a listing of apps to play, edit or open up all file types on Android devices.

Open, Edit or Modify Office Files on Android

There are a lot of apps available in the Google Play Store that lets users read, edit and modify office files. Role files include DOCX, XLSX, PDF, PPT, PPTX, ODT, RTF, ODS, TXT and a few more than. Out of many apps available, these three are the best in their category. WPS Office + PDF, Google Drive and Microsoft Office Mobile.

	PDF	DOCX	XLSX	PPTX	ODT	RTF	ODS	TXT
GOOGLE Bulldoze	Yes	Yeah	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yeah	Yep	Yes
WPS OFFICE	Yes	Aye	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yep
MICROSOFT-APPS	No	Yep	Yes	Yep	No	No	No	No

Some smartphones even take one or more of these apps pre-installed. In a higher place is a table giving an overview of the file types supported by these 3 apps.

Open up eBook Files on Android

In order to read eBooks on Android one needs a reader app which doesn't come up pre-installed on Android devices. At that place are a lot of apps that can do this only I would suggest Cool Reader and Aldiko Book Reader. The interface of the Cool Reader app is simply brilliant. The way the pages turn is very centre pleasing.

	PDF	EPUB	MOBI	CHM	CDR	OBDS	FB2	HTML
Cool Reader	Yes	Aye	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Aye
Aldiko Volume Reader	Yes	Yes	Yeah	Yes	Yes	Aye	Yeah	Yeah

Above is a table to give you an overall view of the file types supported. Both of the above-mentioned apps take a dedicated eBook shop where you can buy books and become some of them for gratuitous. It is sure a really overnice feel.

Open, Edit or Modify Image Files on Android

Virtually all the devices accept Google Photos pre-installed. For basic stuff, like opening and editing .jpg, .jpeg, .png type of images, it is expert. Just for avant-garde stuff, it does not prove to be that handy. For that, there is an app named RawDroid Pro.

Notwithstanding, it is a paid app so I wouldn't propose to buy it until you really demand information technology. There is a demo version of this app which I would suggest you lot try earlier purchasing the full version. The RawDroid Pro is very efficiently designed and the UI looks great. This app is capable of handling a large diversity of formats which includes,

.3fr (Hasselblad), .arw .srf .sr2 (Sony), .bay (Casio), .crw, .cr2 (Canon), .cap, .iiq, .eip (Phase_One), .dcs, .dcr, .drf, .k25, .kdc (Kodak), .dng (Adobe), .erf (Epson), .fff (Imacon), .mef (Mamiya), .mos (Leaf), .mrw (Minolta), .nef, .nrw (Nikon), .orf (Olympus), .pef, .ptx (Pentax), .raf (Fuji), .raw, .rw2 (Panasonic), .raw, .rwl, .dng (Leica), .srw (Samsung) und .x3f (Sigma).

All the same, an important thing to notation is that the app has been discontinued in favor of Android six.0. But however, information technology works with a lot of smartphones. At least the demo version is worth giving a shot. An alternative to this app could be the Bonfire Photo Editor Pro or the Adobe Photoshop Express.

Play Video Files on Android

There is nothing much to say most this. We all know it is the VLC Media Player. The all-time app to play videos on Android devices. It can handle near all types of formats including .mp4, .mkv, .3gp, .avi, .wmv, .flv, .mov and many more.

On summit of that, information technology has some useful features such equally subtitles, car-rotation, correction of aspect ratio, etc. My personal favorite is that brightness and book can be controlled using gestures. Not to mention the app as well has a widget which works great.

Autonomously from this, there are other options to look at such as the MX Player and the BS Player. All of the 3 apps have similar features and experience comfortable to use. I thing which I love about the MX player is its ability to bookmark any video so that when nosotros open the movie once again information technology will brainstorm from there.

Play Audio Files on Android

The default Android music player generally the Google Play Music can handle audio files with extensions .mp3, .m4a, .flac, and a few more. However, in reality there a lot more formats than these which are capable of delivering better sound quality.

Formats such as- OGG, WMA, ALAC, APE will require some other app. Poweramp Music Actor and MortPlayer Music are some good apps to check out.

	MP4	M4A	APE	ALAC	WMA	OGG	WAV	WV
Poweramp Music Player	Aye	Aye	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yeah
MortPlayer Music	Aye	Yeah	Yeah	Yep	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes

Above is a tabular array which gives an overview of the file types supported. The Poweramp Music Player is the best app and gets more than the job done. Nonetheless, it is a paid app. There is a trial version available for users to endeavor it. If gratuitous is your cup of tea then MortPlayer Music is the all-time alternative.

Open and Unpack Archive Files on Android

About of the file explorers such as the ES File Explorer or the Solid Explorer can get the job done. Still, if yous are looking for an app that can unpack any type of file then B1 Archiver and AndroZip should be more than sufficient.

	7Z	APK	TAR	Nix	RAR	ZIPX	GZIP	XAR
B1 Archiver	Yes	Yep	Yes	Yeah	Yes	Yes	Yeah	Yes
AndroZip	Yep	Yes	Yep	Yes	Yep	Yes	Yes	Aye

Above is a table which gives an overview of the file types supported. However, in reality, the B1 Archiver supports the following type of files,

7z, apk, a, ar, arj, bz2, bzip2, cab, deb, gz, gzip, jar, iso, lha, lzh, lzma, mtz, rpm, tar, tar.bz2, tbz, tbz2, tar.gz, tgz, tpz, taz, tar.lzma, tar.xz, tar.Z, xap, xar, xz, Z, zipx.
