I cannot figure out how to show a PDF file inside an Android application. So far I\'ve found out that it is possible to launch an Intent and open the PDF using
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
WebView webview;
ProgressBar progressbar;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
webview = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.webview);
progressbar = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.progressbar);
webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
String filename ="http://www3.nd.edu/~cpoellab/teaching/cse40816/android_tutorial.pdf";
webview.loadUrl("http://docs.google.com/gview?embedded=true&url=" + filename);
webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
// do your stuff here
progressbar.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
});
}
}
