I need to view some PDF files with embeded form and process values that user inputs in form. Does anyone have such experience? Can you suggest library for it or another solution. I cannot use GPL solutions, because my apps will be proprietary.
I would suggest you to use mu-pdf library.If you want to use MUPDF inside an existing android app project you can follow the guide you find at this link (all credits go to the author, I didn't write this).
Also, as we both (if I understood correctly your needs) need just the PDF rendering features, would be great if someone points out how to (if possible) disable some of the unnecessary features built in the MuPDF library when building it from source (as DjVu support, just as an example).

ALL,
We are trying to rewrite a huge software that is written in wxWidgets + Qt to run on Android tablet and we are trying to rewrite it in JAVA (as it is a natural language for development in Android). Our old system is using RoboHelp to generate Help files and then the RoboHelp libraries are put on the Client system for the Search functionality.
One of the pieces that needs to be redefined is a Help system (and also a Context-Sensitive Help).
I just tried to search for which file format (html, xml, etc) can be used to implement file formats. However, Google give me a bunch of links for video/audio and all other stuff but nothing is related to Help system. I believe it is because Help in Android applications is not really defined and there is not to many applications written for Android that requires Help system.
Does anybody here have an idea? Google Material Design does not say anything in this regards - they just tell you that there should be a Help button with a possible drawer implementation and that about it. But there is nothing about Help content file format.
The Help system should support navigation and search capabilities.
Thank you for any suggestions you can provide
I want to open a .dwg file in my own Android app.
Is there anyone who knows any good development tool that can help me.
I am trying to find it but just getting nothing related to it. I think very few people use it.
Also, I want to know, how these apps work to open cad files which would be developed.
The main problem here is that .dwg files have a lot of different versions, and more importantly this format is proprietary, apparently not well documented or not documented at all. And of course, it's not simple data that we are talking about, so good luck for reverse engineering the format yourself.
A look at the wikipedia page for .dwg seem to give some interesting information for your project :
There is already some open source reader developed for this file format, namely LibDWG - free access to DWG
(...)
This is a library to allow reading data from a DWG file. That's a very
important acquisiton, which may improve a lot the ability of the free
software comunity to develop more features in the field of computer
technical drawing (CAD).
The DWG structure is very complicated, it seems to be crafted so that
none can easily understand it. That's a strong reason to not use it,
and that's also why we do not provide the writing feature in the
library. One should use LibDWG mainly to read such files, filtering
them to some other format, free and usable.
(...)
I think this is the developpment tool you wanted.
I been searching everywhere for a nice Android Library to use PDF's with interaction, I only found MuPDF but the library does not match the requirements.
Does anyone know about a nice OpenSorce PDF Reader Library for android that I can also interact with?
Thanks
Try Joan's pdfviewer. You can find it here
I will recomend you RadaeePDF.
Its not open source but its "afordable" taking into consideration the time will save you looking and trying for open source projects.
In my experience the performance given by this SDK is great, you may try it for free.

I am trying to develop a paid app in which part of it involve filling out an already existing pdf form. I am looking for a way to do it in Android. I have searched stack overflow and I found a library to use like iText, but it doesn't meet my needs. My requirements are the following and I hope you guys can help me out
my app is paid app so I am looking for a library to allow me to use I for commercial purposes without limitation hidden in footnote of licenses
I need it to work in Android as I heard libraries like iText have issue in Android (don't know why although both are Java)
So any suggestions? I just need to view and edit/fill pdfs, that's all.
You could look at Docmosis which has a cloud service using templates and merging data to PDF. Some devs have found it a reasonable (

alright so I've searched for quite sometime on this and I can't seem to find just the kind of answer that answers my questions...so here goes nothing! And mind you, I'm new to android dev soooo I may have stupid questions that some of you may get irritated at, but we all have to learn some how right?
I'm trying to develop an application that will allow users to scan in a QR code and then display the information that is encoded into it in a nice organized way.
It seems like ZXing doesn't like the idea of integrating their code with other applications e.g. you have to use their application from the market and point to it via intents... well if I do it this way, can I decode the contents so that I can have access to the content and do as I want with it?
What would I have to include in my project from the ZXing folder that I downloaded to make it all work? And would I have to build all of the objects with in that folder in order to use them in my project?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I have decided to go other routes.
The "Android way" is to do everything via intents.. However, zxing is a special case. You can follow the intent route, or you can (as it's apache licensed), download the source code and adapt as necessary. We did that for the game Barcode Beasties ( mandatory self promoting download link here : https://market.android.com/details?id=com.fawepark.android.barcodebeasties ) and that meant we could also brand the scan page as well.
If you want use the software integrated, then just download the source and either compile it as a library or just include it in your source folder as another folder.
