Google Doc Hangs

I have used two custom url screens in my app. Both screens link to a google word processing doc. The links to the documents are here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kQ7JUUHT7qxt15r7P0osJn7cFOYgrvV_mciRhWzDI6A/edit?usp=sharing https://docs.google.com/document/d/1h_F2UWQkbIcWlCoXkjH8S3ys0PtNbEyHG-8DW82JCzc/edit?usp=sharing When I test the app on an Android device the screen and the document load. However, the entire app hangs as the circular "loading" animation continues to run continuously. The only way to get back to the home screen is to force close the app and re-open it. Thanks in advance for any help.

@seekr: This has been an ongoing problem for the Android browser. It looks like the web page is hanging, however, the Android web browser does not know that the page has finished loading. Here is a workaround: http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=84D47AE9CF4CF181930C282 The spinner is a view that is layered on top of the WebView. When it is active, the WebView and other buttons and actions are unavailable. This workaround stops this problem. Does this work? Jake

Thanks for the quick suggestion Jake. I fixed the problem by clicking "Publish to the Web" and using the link provided that way instead of the links posted above. I'm not sure what the difference is but it seems to have fixed the problem. Thanks.
