You can try with Linking, as WebView is a view that display web pages inside your application.

import * as Linking from 'expo-linking';

Linking.openURL('https://download.microsoft.com/download/1/4/E/14EDED28-6C58-4055-A65C-23B4DA81C4DE/Financial%20Sample.xlsx');

I am using Expo .
import { WebView } from "react-native-webview";
and imported webview like above i am trying to load a document file from some https url , it is working fine and loading the xls file in IOS but in android it giving a blank screen.

 <WebView
  originWhitelist={["*"]}
  source={{ uri: 'https://download.microsoft.com/download/1/4/E/14EDED28-6C58-4055-A65C-23B4DA81C4DE/Financial%20Sample.xlsx' }}
  onLoadEnd={() =>  console.log('end' +Platform.OS)}
  javaScriptEnabled={true}
  domStorageEnabled={true}
  useWebKit={true}
  style={styles.WebViewStyle}
  startInLoadingState={true}
/>

const styles = {  
  WebViewStyle: {
    flex: 1,
    marginLeft: 6,
    height: "50%",
    width: "97%"
  }
}

console.log of onLoadEnd is not coming for android but working fine for IOS.
