Question

I'm new to android programming and I'm developing an application in android to open a PDF file from a server in my app. I've no idea about that. So please help me. How i can do this?

Thanks in advance.

Solution 1

you have to try this code for open a pdf file in your application..

WebView webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.my_webview);
webView.setWebViewClient(new MyWebViewClient());
webView.addView(webView.getZoomControls());
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.loadUrl("http://docs.google.com/gview?embedded=true&url=http://myurl.com/demo.pdf");

Solution 2

   String pdf = "http://www.xyzwebsite.com/yourfile.pdf"; //YOUR URL TO PDF
   String googleDocsUrl = "http://docs.google.com/viewer?url="+ pdfurl;
   Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
   intent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(googleDocsUrl ), "text/html");
   startActivity(intent);

Add this permission to manifest file

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" >
