Question

How do I open a PDF file in my web view wihtout downloading and saving it to the SD card? I have done some R&D on this but until now I haven’t got any appropriate answers. Can anyone tell me how to use googledoc to open the PDF file in the web view?

Answer 1

http://docs.google.com/viewer?embedded=true&url=link_to_pdf will format your PDFs for you to open within the webview, using Google Docs Viewer.

WebView mWebView = new WebView(this);
mWebview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);  
String url = "http://docs.google.com/viewer?embedded=true&url="+"http://sitename.com/xyz.pdf";
mWebview.loadUrl(url);
