Is there a way to display PDF or Rich text files?

[HarleyM]

I'm look for a way to display a PDF (or MSWord type RTF) in B4A. Any suggestions?

Use WebView. Now you have HTML/Rich Text.
I was hoping that would also provide PDF rendering, but I can see
from some reading that it is not the case.

From that point, if you must have PDF rendering, you can try something
mentioned in this thread:

Android - Load PDF / PDF Viewer - Stack Overflow

webview.loadUrl("http://docs.google.com/gview?embedded=true&url=http://myurl.com/demo.pdf");

Thanks... I'll look into it!

Hoping for a simple PDF (edit) solution within the existing B4A framework. One to add to the wish list...

WebView is already supported.

I know this is an old thread but does it imply that Webview can display RTF files? If so how do you load them?
Thanks

It is better to start a new thread. I believe that my answer was for a question or comment that later was edited and removed.

WebView doesn't support RTF files.
