I want to open a pdf from a website onto an app i'm making for the kindle and android.
I think my code is right but it can't find my file and I wasn't sure if anyone knew if I should be formatting the file different since it's technically a website....
Any input would be greatly appreciated. Here's what I have so far:
Button OpenPDF = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
OpenPDF.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
{
public void onClick(View v)
{
File pdfFile = new File("http://thisisthewebsitewithpdf.pdf");
if(pdfFile.exists()) //EXCEPTION HERE. pdfFile doesn't exist!
{
Uri path = Uri.fromFile(pdfFile);
Intent pdfIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
pdfIntent.setDataAndType(path, "application/pdf");
pdfIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
try
{
startActivity(pdfIntent);
}
catch(ActivityNotFoundException e)
{
Toast.makeText(PDFActivity.this, "No Application available to view pdf", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
you can download the pdf to your sdcard and then open it using this activitty:
public class OpenPdf extends Activity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.OpenPdfButton);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
File file = new File("/sdcard/example.pdf");
if (file.exists()) {
Uri path = Uri.fromFile(file);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(path, "application/pdf");
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
try {
startActivity(intent);
}
catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
Toast.makeText(OpenPdf.this,
"No Application Available to View PDF",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
}
});
}
}

I want to open a pdf file via an Android app. So far I have written the following code:
public class PdfopenActivity extends Activity {
String selectedFilePath;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Button btnOpen=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
btnOpen.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// Sample.pdf is my file name it is in /Root/Download/Sample.pdf
// path of the file
File file = new File( Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() + "/Sample.pdf");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(file),"application/pdf");
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY);
startActivity(intent);
}
});
}
}
The pdf is 175kb and I can open the file directly on my Galaxy Tab2 tablet, but when I run my my program to open it I get the error:
An Error Occurred while opening the document.
Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong?
.
Try this out:
Button btnOpen=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
btnOpen.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
File file = new File("/sdcard/sample.pdf");
if (file.exists()) {
Uri path = Uri.fromFile(file);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(path, "application/pdf");
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
try {
startActivity(intent);
}
catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
}
}
}
});
Hope this will help you.

you cant do that directly, you have to use Native Library for reading PDF... library may be iText, jPedal, Mupdf, Pdfbox... etc. Google it
