Load Pdf File In Webview

I am having webview in my app, i am loading website in my webview and in that website there are multiple links of PDF file but while i am clicking on that it is not opening in webv

Solution 1:

Android does not work like iOS in this respect. The WebView widget cannot display PDF documents on Android.

You will have to:

• Use a third party library (unfortunately, most open source pdf libs are GPL)

• Open a pdf viewer app via an Intent

• Use Google docs in a webview

Solution 2:

this may help you,

StringmyPdfUrl="http://example.com/awesome.pdf";
Stringurl="http://docs.google.com/gview?embedded=true&url=" + myPdfUrl;
Log.i(TAG, "Opening PDF: " + url);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true); 
webView.loadUrl(url);

Solution 3:

Whenever you want to open pdf saved in google drive this code can be used

WebView view=(WebView)findViewById(R.id.webView);
     view.setWebViewClient(newWebViewClient());
     String url=getIntent().toString("value1");
     StringURL="https://docs.google.com/viewer?url="+url; 
     view.loadUrl(Url);
