Question

I want to open pdf file using installed adobe reader. I tried in the following way to prevent “Complete action using” menu.

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setPackage("com.adobe.reader");
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(doc), "application/pdf");
startActivity(intent);

Using the above code i managed to reduce the list size to 2. Is there any way to avoid showing context menu (Complete action using).

Thank you!

I would like to thanks every one who tried to answer this question. After some browsing i found solution for my Question. which is perfectly working for me.

instead of using

intent.setPackage("com.adobe.reader");

I used

intent.setClassName("com.adobe.reader", "com.adobe.reader.AdobeReader");

don’t forget to start activity in try catch block, it helps when adobe reader not installed on Device. Please check the below snippet.

try {
    Intent intent = new Intent();

    intent.setClassName("com.adobe.reader", "com.adobe.reader.AdobeReader");
    intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
    intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(doc), "application/pdf");
    startActivity(intent);

   } 
   catch (ActivityNotFoundException activityNotFoundException) {
    activityNotFoundException.printStackTrace();
    }
