sample Calc document

With current git master, Android Viewer no longer correctly displays Calc documents, but just shows a white/blank area. That still worked fine in the past.

Steps to reproduce:

1) open a Calc document in Android Viewer, e.g. attached document "three_sheets.ods"

Actual result: blank area shown

Expected result: the document content is shown

on, the document content is *sometimes* not shown correctly and this white area shows up, but sometimes it works just fine.

on, it never works and LibreOffice Android Viewer always just shows this "white area" instead of rendering the document content.
