For PDF files ios platform has UIDocumentInteractionController controller and UIDocumentInteractionControllerDelegate to open PDF documents in another application like evernote, dropbox, google drive etc. Is there a way like this for android platform? I found a sample for IOS in here but could not find a sample for Android.
Thanks.
I strongly recomend you look at MuPDF. This is open source project so you are free to integrate mupdf with your project, as well modify and distribute it. Developer say that muPdf is small, fast, and yet complete. And it's completly true!
But integrate MuPDF with existing android project is not easy. Here a few useful links:
Official docs
also look here
how to use with existing android project
Hope it help you
Not used this but you can try it ..

Where can I find the SDKs (supporting .jar files) for the "bms-samples-android-bluelist" Sample applications provided by Bluemix? While searching for this I got the below thread. The page is not redirecting to the right page:
URL-> https://www.ng.bluemix.net/docs/starters/mobilefirst/gettingstarted/android_existingproject.html#gettingstarted
Note: I'm using in Eclipse
For that document try changing the "Docs customized for type" field in the top right from Java to Android. This is a known issue and will hopefully be sorted out shortly, but the Android version of the doc has working links.
For the SDKs themselves please take a look at the Bluemix Mobile Services github as they are all hosted there. Here's a link to the Bluemix Service Android Core SDK to get started.
Hope this helps
I am having difficulty in finding a solution for this issue.
I have an existing web application using JS, HTML and CSS with which I have used Phonegap to support both Android and Windows 8.
What I need now is a back-end to access Dropbox files - but I am confused in what I need to get going as it seems supporting both Android and Windows simultaneously is difficult / impossible.
I have also looked at using OneDrive to access files, but I have run into the same problem.
Is it possible to use the Dropbox / OneDrive API to access files in a Phonegap app supporting multiple platforms? If so, what do I need to get started?
Any help will be appreciated!
You can use the Dropbox JS SDK for this. I recently wrote a blog post about it on the Dropbox developer blog: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/blog/95/using-dropbox-datastores-in-a-cordova-app.
That post is specifically about using the Datastore API, but the same library supports files too.
I want to build a PDF reader/viewer that could be used in my Android application, but I can't use Google docs to read my content. I can't use any PDF reader already installed in my device. It should be within my app and do not expose my secure content over the Internet.
What could I possibly use? Do I have to use the Android native dev kit to create my own viewer?
I'd recommend considering MuPDF which has already been ported for use on Android several times without reliance on Java. MuPDF is optimized for lightweight on-screen PDF rendering, making it perfect for mobile use.
Please note that MuPDF and all the derived projects are not suitable for the commercial use and you should consider alternatives if you are not developing an open source GPL project.
You will need pdf parsing libraries in JAVA... Parse the document, and display content in android. Below are some useful links :
http://java-source.net/open-source/pdf-libraries
http://itextpdf.com/

Advanced PDF parser for Java
There is an api in java, not sure if it is supported in android, but if possible.
You can use iText Api to read and write pdf documents in your application, and it does not require a pdf viewer is installed on the device.
There are opensource code available code.google.com/p/apv , andpdf.sourceforge.net/
You have to integrate this in your app there is no other direct way for do that.
I think you can use iText library to read the PDF in android.
Here are the few links for that

I made an application using App Inventor and now I want to add Admob advertising to it. I need to change manifest and some "activity".
How I could open apk in Eclipse to cahnge it? If someone added admob advertising to application made in app inventor?
Please, help
I think that this isn't possible, because an apk doesn't contain source files but compiled bytecode files. So if you would want to edit such a project in eclipse, you would have to obtain the sourcecode of your app, which isn't possible in App Inventor AFAIK.
If you want to have full control over your source code, you should consider learning to program natively on android.
If you are really interested in android development, check out the official Android Developer's Guide at

I have only .apk file(Barcode Scanner app) with me not the source code of that and wants to add it in my working android project so can anyone assist me the way to achieve that..?? I would be very obliged.
You can use the barcode scanner with your application without actually including the source inside of your app. Have a look at scanning via intents, this should accomplish what you are looking for.
I'm looking into the same issue. I have concluded that its not possible to include an apk file in an excisting project. But there is another possibility, using zxing open source lib. Here is a good tutorial for integrating a native barcode scanner:
