Opening pdf file from server using android intent
First Create a downloader class
public class Downloader {
public static void DownloadFile(String fileURL, File directory) {
try {
FileOutputStream f = new FileOutputStream(directory);
URL u = new URL(fileURL);
HttpURLConnection c = (HttpURLConnection) u.openConnection();
c.setRequestMethod("GET");
c.setDoOutput(true);
c.connect();
InputStream in = c.getInputStream();
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int len1 = 0;
while ((len1 = in.read(buffer)) > 0) {
f.write(buffer, 0, len1);
}
f.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
After that create an activity which downloads the PDF file from internet,
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
String extStorageDirectory = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
.toString();
File folder = new File(extStorageDirectory, "pdf");
folder.mkdir();
File file = new File(folder, "Read.pdf");
try {
file.createNewFile();
} catch (IOException e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
}
Downloader.DownloadFile("http://122.248.233.68/pvfiles/Guide-2.pdf", file);
showPdf();
}
public void showPdf()
{
File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/Mypdf/Read.pdf");
PackageManager packageManager = getPackageManager();
Intent testIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
testIntent.setType("application/pdf");
List list = packageManager.queryIntentActivities(testIntent, PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY);
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(file);
intent.setDataAndType(uri, "application/pdf");
startActivity(intent);
}
}
Finally at last declare persmissions in AndroidManifest.xml
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
You can try this using WebView:
public class MyPdfViewActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
WebView mWebView=new WebView(MyPdfViewActivity.this);
mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
mWebView.getSettings().setPluginsEnabled(true);
mWebView.loadUrl("https://docs.google.com/gview?embedded=true&url="+LinkTo);
setContentView(mWebView);
}
}
