Open online pdf file through android intent?

Question

Currently I have a pdf url, and I would like to simply using the intent to open it, however, it does not work if I put the url in intent

Answer 1

you can try this. it works for both .pdf and .docx

 String pdfUrl = "abc.pdf"; //
 String url = "http://docs.google.com/gview?embedded=true&url=" + pdfUrl;

 WebView webView = findViewById(R.id.webview_cv_viewer);
 webView.getSettings().setSupportZoom(true);
 webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
 webView.loadUrl(url);
