How to open an article in android app?

Question

Can someone tell me what steps to follow to open an article in android app?

I do not meant open via browser but in-app.

Update description:

I do not mean open the actual website article, but copy the content (along with images, video links) and show it in the app with your preferred font, background etc

well this is a 'big' general question. i suggest you to go through this http://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/index.html?hl=p — Kosh, Oct 19 '14 at 07:31
what do you mean by an "article"? a web page or a PDF file or some document or? — Michael Dautermann, Oct 19 '14 at 07:32
True, I did not specify. I mean open an article from a webpage, but not the webpage i.e. take all the content and show it in the app in your background, not the website's one... — Vaggouras, Oct 19 '14 at 12:21

You can open a web page in-app (instead of the browser) by using a WebView (see documentation here). I recommend also reading the API guide topic Building Web Apps in WebView.

you may use webview to load your html file

WebView webView = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.webView1);
webview.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/file.html");
