Hello I'm developing app to open pdf files in webview in pdfactivity. I tried opening through intent its redirecting to system inbuilt apps but not pdfactivity.java. find the code below, I declared this in my webview activity,

 private class MyWebViewClient extends WebViewClient { @Override public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) { Uri uri = WebvActivity.this.getIntent().getData(); Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); intent.setDataAndType(uri, "application/pdf"); intent.putExtra(PdfActivity.EXTRA_PDFFILENAME, "url"); startActivity(intent); return super.shouldOverrideUrlLoading(view, url); } 

I'm using PdfViewer.jar library, In README text it is mentioned use

Intent intent = new Intent(this, WebviewActivity.class); intent.putExtra(PdfViewerActivity.EXTRA_PDFFILENAME, "PATH TO PDF GOES HERE"); startActivity(intent); 

How can I get URL of pdf files from the webpage in webview & load them in PdfActivity. See below link for your reference, https://sourceforge.net/p/andpdf/code/HEAD/tree/tag/Beta_0_1_11/AndroidPdfViewer/activitysrc/net/sf/andpdf/

You can open a pdf using Google Docs Viewer.

BINGO!! My issue resolved can open pdf directly using BufferedInputStream

I created two activity, First Activity to load all pdfs in webview. When user clicks the link of pdf, the pdfurl fetches the url as strings, passes strings to next activity. PdfActivity.java

 final String pdfurl = view.getHitTestResult().getExtra(); Intent intent = new Intent(PdfActivity.this,PdfViewer.class); intent.putExtra("PDFURL",pdfurl); startActivity(intent); 

Second Activity is PdfViewer, bateksc pdfviewer to load pdf from url, edited as above PdfViewer.java

package ak.wp.meto.activity; import android.app.Activity; import android.os.AsyncTask; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.KeyEvent; import android.widget.TextView; import android.widget.Toast; import com.github.barteksc.pdfviewer.PDFView; import java.io.BufferedInputStream; import java.io.IOException; import java.io.InputStream; import java.net.HttpURLConnection; import java.net.URL; import ak.wp.meto.R; public class PdfViewer extends Activity { private TextView txt; // You can remove if you don't want this private PDFView pdf; String value = null; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_custom_pdf); Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras(); if (bundle != null) { value = bundle.getString("PDFURL"); } System.out.println("PRINT PDFVIEWER DATA" +value); pdf = (PDFView) findViewById(R.id.pdfView); //github.barteksc txt = findViewById(R.id.txtPdf); String pdfUrl = value; try{ new RetrievePdfStream().execute(pdfUrl); } catch (Exception e){ Toast.makeText(this, "Failed to load Url :" + e.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } } class RetrievePdfStream extends AsyncTask<String, Void, InputStream> { @Override protected InputStream doInBackground(String... strings) { InputStream inputStream = null; try { URL url = new URL(strings[0]); HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection(); if (urlConnection.getResponseCode() == 200) { inputStream = new BufferedInputStream(urlConnection.getInputStream()); } } catch (IOException e) { return null; } return inputStream; } @Override protected void onPostExecute(InputStream inputStream) { pdf.fromStream(inputStream).load(); } } }
