Solution 1

Here you go:

Java

File file = new File("path_to_the_file.ppt");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(file),"application/vnd.ms-powerpoint");
startActivity(intent);

This will show the user options about any power-point viewers that they have installed and they can pick one.

I have already mentioned "without the help of another application."
