Example of code to implement a PDF reader
Use below code for that.
First.java
public class First extends ListActivity {
String[] pdflist;
File[] imagelist;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
//setContentView(R.layout.main);
File images = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
imagelist = images.listFiles(new FilenameFilter() {
public boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
return ((name.endsWith(".pdf")));
}
});
pdflist = new String[imagelist.length];
for (int i = 0; i < imagelist.length; i++) {
pdflist[i] = imagelist[i].getName();
}
this.setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, pdflist));
}
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
String path = imagelist[(int) id].getAbsolutePath();
openPdfIntent(path);
}
private void openPdfIntent(String path) {
try {
final Intent intent = new Intent(First.this, Second.class);
intent.putExtra(PdfViewerActivity.EXTRA_PDFFILENAME, path);
startActivity(intent);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Second.java
public class Second extends PdfViewerActivity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}
public int getPreviousPageImageResource() {
return R.drawable.left_arrow;
}
public int getNextPageImageResource() {
return R.drawable.right_arrow;
}
public int getZoomInImageResource() {
return R.drawable.zoom_in;
}
public int getZoomOutImageResource() {
return R.drawable.zoom_out;
}
public int getPdfPasswordLayoutResource() {
return R.layout.pdf_file_password;
}
public int getPdfPageNumberResource() {
return R.layout.dialog_pagenumber;
}
public int getPdfPasswordEditField() {
return R.id.etPassword;
}
public int getPdfPasswordOkButton() {
return R.id.btOK;
}
public int getPdfPasswordExitButton() {
return R.id.btExit;
}
public int getPdfPageNumberEditField() {
return R.id.pagenum_edit;
}
}
And declared both activities into your manifest file.

How to embed a PDF viewer in a page?
You could consider using PDFObject by Philip Hutchison.
Alternatively, if you're looking for a non-Javascript solution, you could use markup like this:
<object data="myfile.pdf" type="application/pdf" width="100%" height="100%">
<p>Alternative text - include a link <a href="myfile.pdf">to the PDF!</a></p>
</object>
Check if there is any kind of PDF Reader installed
Apart from whether it is useful to know or not, you could probable check the following registry key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\application/pdf
This will have an entry CLSID
, which points to the class ID of the default application.
If the registry key or CLSID
value is not present, then the MIME type is unknown, or there is no default application to handle the MIME type application/pdf
files.
Recommended way to embed PDF in HTML?
Probably the best approach is to use the PDF.JS library. It's a pure HTML5/JavaScript renderer for PDF documents without any third-party plugins.

Android download PDF from URL then open it with a PDF reader
Hi the problem is in FileDownloader class
urlConnection.setRequestMethod("GET");
urlConnection.setDoOutput(true);
You need to remove the above two lines and everything will work fine. Please mark the question as answered if it is working as expected.
Latest solution for the same problem is updated Android PDF Write / Read using Android 9 (API level 28)
Attaching the working code with screenshots.
