Answer 1

This is the code I use to read a pdf from the filesystem, I hope it helps!

        File file = new File("/path/to/file");          
        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 {
             context.startActivity(intent);
            } 
         catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
             Toast.makeText(context, "No application available to view PDF", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
