How to render PDF in Android

Question

In my application I will receive a byte stream and convert it to a pdf file in the phone memory. How do I render that to a pdf? And show it on an activity?

Answer 1

For the local pdf files, you can render them through the third party libraries. for example, use the MuPDF library, its supported file types include PDF, PNG and JPEG.

One shortcoming of MuPDF is that it uses native library to fulfill the target, so it won't be easy to port the application on BlackBerry platform later.
