Hi

The following two *viewers* seem to be the only way to view ODF
documents in Android devices:

ODF viewer: http://www.appbrain.com/app/odf-viewer/com.olidroide
OpenOffice Document Reader:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/openoffice-document-reader/at.tomtasche.reader

The above links are only for convenient installation. You can find the
respective official websites here:
http://forja.cenatic.es/projects/visorodfmovil
http://tomtasche.at/p/OpenOffice Document Reader

It's unfortunate their free license is not clearly indicated in their
respective descriptions or web sites, I'd like to invite anyone
interested to encourage the respective developers to clearly state their
applications are Free, open source software and what license they use. I
lack the time to also invite them to submit their apps to F-Droid
repositories (or check if they are already there), but wanted to put
this in everyone's radar here for now.

Also note I am contributing in the LibreOffice project so is anyother
Android apps show up here (or there) regarding ODF support, I'd love to
hear about them (and will share here accordingly). A new question poped
up today (on discuss at documentfoundation.org) about having a full
LibreOffice editor in Android, which prompted my quick search on past
information I had found.

Cheers,
