Android - Download PDF / PDF Viewer

Question

I want to display pdf content in webview.

Here is my code:

WebView webview = new WebView(this); setContentView(webview); webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true); webview.loadUrl("URL/Demo_PDF.pdf"); 

Problem:

When I try to start the application, at this time I get a blank screen.

And also, if there is any PDF viewer, then also suggest me !!

FYI, I have already set the Internet permission.

Answer 1

Finally, I got a solution, in fact I did the trick to upload a pdf file using Google Docs in a webview:

 webview.loadUrl("http://docs.google.com/gview?embedded=true&url=http://myurl.com/demo.pdf"); 

Answer 2

Sorry, but WebView does not display PDF content.
What you may wish for is a PDF viewer that responds to the MIME PDF format.

Here are some free open source libraries you can check out:

• droidreader
• apv pdf reader

Answer 3

Vudroid is an open source project for the doc of the pfd / djvu document.

Answer 4

You can try using mupdf (www.mupdf.com). You can create your own code library (libmupdf.so), which will be loaded into your Android project using ndk. This will provide much faster rendering of PDF files ... check the project at: http://mupdf.com/repos/mupdf/android/

Answer 5

WebView does not have a PDF plugin. You must store the PDF locally and open an intent to view such content.
