Opening a PDF file in Android using WebView All you need to do is just put WebView in your layout and load the desired URL by using the webView. loadUrl() function. Now, run the application on your mobile phone and the PDF will be displayed on the screen.
We can load PDF in android easily using WebView. We will be using the simplest way for displaying PDF file in android. Using the Google Docs PDF viewer we could do this easily. Now lets get in to the implementation and source code.
Unfortunately, Android does not support viewing PDFs out of the box in a WebView. Luckily, Google has a nifty little tool that allows you to perform this very task quite easily using Google Docs. Basically we will embed our PDF in a Google Doc page on-the-fly and load that.
If possible, you can display PDF documents and visit online websites using the add-in: import 'dart:html' as html; html. window. open('http:///www.website.com/document.pdf');
attach a download listener to the web view and change the url as follows..
"http://docs.google.com/gview?embedded=true&url=http://www.abc.com/xxxxxyyyyyxz.pdf"
it's a link used to open pdf without downloading it...
I hope it solves your problem..
