WebView mWebView = (WebView) findViewById( R.id.WebView01);
String pdfurl = ""; // Url of pdf or doc file.

String weblink="http://docs.google.com/gview?embedded=true&url="+pdfurl;    
mWebView.loadUrl(weblink);

No, there is no native API provided by android, you can use some third party APIs to read pdf and all.

Some of them can open using default activity with ACTION_VIEW. For other we have to external API to open them. But i am not sure which one will definitely open using ACTION_VIEW but you can give a try to them by using URI.

But most important thing as Saurabh Pareek said there is not native classes in android
