ionic 3 Document Viewer Plugin

Question

I'm using Document Viewer Plugin to show pdf file in my ionic 3 app. I placed a pdf file in assets folder and call the method as they mentioned in their documentation.

const options: DocumentViewerOptions = {
  title: 'My PDF'
};
this.document.viewDocument('assets/myFile.pdf', 'application/pdf', options) 

but It won't show anything. I used another built in method of this plugin:

this.document.canViewDocument(url, contentType, options, onPossible, onMissingApp, onImpossible, onError)

it throws the onError callback function and error says:
'Relative URIs are not supported.'

Any help would be appreciated.

Use File Plugin Native Ionic and use:

this.file.applicationDirectory + 'www/assets/files/myFile.pdf
