VSSX Viewer API for Android - Open Visio Stencils in Java

GroupDocs.Viewer Cloud turns a VSSX file into HTML, PDF, JPG or PNG output with one REST call. Rendering happens on the server side, so an Android device downloads finished pages and presents a Visio shape library it has no software to open.

VSSX is the stencil format that Microsoft Visio has used since Visio 2013. A stencil is a reusable library of master shapes, such as network icons, flowchart symbols and floor plan elements, that authors drag onto a drawing page. Teams share stencils widely, yet only Visio opens them natively, and it does not run on Android.

The Android SDK for Java handles the HTTP work. Add it from Maven Central or name it in a Gradle build, authenticate, then ask for the pages you need. Zoom, thumbnail strips and movement between pages belong to the API, a password-locked stencil opens once the password is supplied, and the same address answers for over 180 additional formats.

Anyone can check a stencil right now with the free GroupDocs.Viewer app, which runs in any browser. Developers replay each call in the interactive API Explorer and evaluate everything on a free trial.
