I want to open an Remote PDF file.

I try this code:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

        String file = "http://192.168.1.101/a.pdf"; //Remote - don't work
        //String file = "file:///sdcard/a.pdf"; //Local - work fine
 
 
            Intent intent = new Intent();
            intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
            intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
            Uri uri = Uri.parse(file);
            intent.setDataAndType(uri, "application/pdf");
 
            try {
                startActivity(intent);
            } 
            catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
                Log.w("Debug",e);
                Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, 
                    "No Application Available to View PDF", 
                    Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
 
Parsed in 0.033 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

It's worsk only with local files.

Thanks!

Hi laxy,

It looks to me like you would have to be connected on the wifi to a server at this ip 192.168.1.101 for this to work. Is that how you are set up? Wifi on, connected and an http server to serve that file out?

Hope this helps.

hi laxy,

Below code may be useful to you. For this you can open your pdf file in google doc.

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

                                        
                    String url = "url for opening the pdf";
                    final String googleDocsUrl = "http://docs.google.com/viewer?url=";
                    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
                    intent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(googleDocsUrl + url),"text/html");
                    startActivity(intent);
