Are there any spreadsheet widgets for Android?

I have an Excel file that I want to use in my application. Using jexcel I read and write an Excel file in the application, but I don't know how to set up the view for that file in my application. Are there any spreadsheet widgets available for Android to show an Excel file?

Why not use a TableLayout widget and programatically fill in the rows and columns while looping through the excel data? TableLayout supports rows and columns.

Usage example: http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-tablelayout.html

The best next thing to writing your own from the ground up:

If android-spreadsheet hasn't helped enough,

the work done with Calligra on Android is the furthest along.

or waiting to see if the LibreOffice Android port will be of any help.

Calligra will at least be some assistance to the problem.

I'd also add, the suggestion @Vincent offered in the comments isn't too terrible. Most phones/tablets come with a stock Office Suite for viewing (not editing) purposes. I understandably see the pitfalls in that solution though, but it would be much easier, albeit lazier.
