How to open a PDF stored in Internal Memory

Question

I have an App that downloads a PDF file and stores it with MODE_PRIVATE (for security purposes) on the Internal Memory of the App:

FileOutputStream fos = get         


        

Answer 1

How can I open and display the downloaded PDF file?

Create a ContentProvider to serve the PDF file, then use an ACTION_VIEW Intent with the Uri to your ContentProvider to open it in the user's chosen PDF viewer.

This sample project demonstrates how to serve a PDF file from internal storage.
