I am using this https://github.com/jblough/Android-Pdf-Viewer-Library - Basically a wrapped jar for the andpdf viewer for Android. I am not able to open a single pdf even though I 've followed the activity creation instructions to the letter.It alsways shows pdf loading. It is the only one I can use since it is under LGPL and I have to incorporate it in my proprietary project. The other ones I ve found either use MuPDF which is under GPL or use itext and only can be used to create PDF's. I've raised this issue on both andpdf and the wrapper sites but havent received responses.Has anyone solved this performance issue wrt ANDPDF. OR has anyone used a jar under LGPL to open pdf's in android?
For the andpdf jar - I am passing the path to the file as a URI to the function in the Jar.
Figured it out - Actually I was passing the file Name to the wrong activity - It has to be passed to the activity in the Jar and not to the locally created activity

I have a doc/ppt/xls file located in my sd card. I want to open it without any third party app (i.e within my app itself) using webview. Though I am able to open documents by embedding it in google docs url like -
http://docs.google.com/gview?embedded=true&url=[filelinkHere]
But how to open a file located in internal or external storage in webview ?
Also, Suggest me any third party ALL-IN-ONE library for android to view all types of documents. I have tried ASPOS but it has few unresolved bugs and APACHE-POI is difficult to use.
I had the same issue few days ago .
i found Android PdfViewer best to view PDF files and Android PdfMyXml best to create pdf files in android.
For working with Word and Excel as a most reliable answer I suggest you to take a look at OliveDocLibrary .
If your documents are in cloud so there is an alternative way to display docx,pptx,pdf and such formats with a combination of Webview and googleDoc.
You might find other possible solutions in server-side machines or maybe a creative way!
Hope it help
You can integrate some library project to your project with which you can open the pdf file inside your app.

I'm creating an Android app that will handle collections of image files.
I'm looking for an archive format (and library) similar to .zip or .tar that meets these requirements:
Open source
Allows extraction of a single file without extracting
all files
Capable of containing image and text (probably json) files
I'm looking for something that is well supported on Android. Something that works for Android and IOS would be a plus.
What about Gzip? Open source and it has native support on Android.
For iPhone, you could use the ZipArchive library, though it may also have native support. (Search the SDK, I don't know how!)
In my project I have to load the contents of a PDF located in the assets folder onto a WebView.Can It be achieved directly just by reading the contents onto a WebView.. I googled a lot and I found that i need to use third party PDF readers to achieve the same?
If so, Plz give me the links of the source of the PDF reader of GITHUB. Am not able to find it..
If you load pdf inside the webview, unicode text type or images wont be visible. So you want
to go for OCR tool.
Use set of libraries and sdk

mupdf is the best library in terms of performance and all i have found till now, you can also use it in your application.
But it needs knowledge of ndk.

what should I do to see this pdf in my application itself ?
Lots of sources for opening/ editing pdf(not sure from your question) on stackoverflow
1.) Use an intent to open a pdf - it ll open using an existing pdf viewer installed
2.) Take a look at
PDF Library for Android - PDFBox?
Android PDF Rendering
for open source libraries, commercial ones etc.,
Basically pdf and android dont go well together from a developer standpoint
I am working on an application in which i have to read downloaded pdf file inside my application without using any external application.
By googling i found that there is one library named iText which is open Source but the problem is i don't know how to use this library inside my application to read the pdf. So can you please provide me any sample code by which i can understand how to use this library..
Thanks to all..
you have to add the pdf library.
There is already a library and some more.

I had used VuDroid it uses NDK and you can find source here
There are other libraries as well that you can use ...just google it. But it worked for me successfully.
