Answer 1

I know maybe is too late for an answer, but your problem is cause by these 2 line: intent.setData(path); intent.setType("application/pdf");

When you setData and after that you setType, the second command will clean the path assingned in setData. In this situation, you should use setDataAndType(path,"application/pdf")

/**
 * Set an explicit MIME data type.
 *
 * 
This is used to create intents that only specify a type and not data,
 * for example to indicate the type of data to return.
 *
 * 
This method automatically clears any data that was
 * previously set (for example by {@link #setData}).
 *
 * 
Note: MIME type matching in the Android framework is
 * case-sensitive, unlike formal RFC MIME types.  As a result,
 * you should always write your MIME types with lower case letters,
 * or use {@link #normalizeMimeType} or {@link #setTypeAndNormalize}
 * to ensure that it is converted to lower case.
 *
 * @param type The MIME type of the data being handled by this intent.
 *
 * @return Returns the same Intent object, for chaining multiple calls
 * into a single statement.
 *
 * @see #getType
 * @see #setTypeAndNormalize
 * @see #setDataAndType
 * @see #normalizeMimeType

public Intent setType(String type) {
    mData = null;
    mType = type;
    return this;
}
