I need a help. I want to know that can we use Apache poi to render files such as .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx etc in android app.

Apache POI is a library for reading information from such files, but it is not concerned with actually rendering the information, so you will need some other tool if you need a generic display, I do not know any for Android, I did not look for one yet, though.
