Android Question How to open a PDF with Intent inside a panel?

[Alex_197]

Hi all.

I have a question.


I need to select a PDF on the user's phone (user will select this file), then open it and show the content to the user. If the user selected the correct file, I want him to confirm it by clicking a button below to save the file name in the local database.

I'm using FileProvider and Content resolver to show a list of folders and files - this is done already. My problem is how to open a PDF with the Intent. The problem is that the Intent starts on top of the Activity. But I need to open it inside activity so I can put a button below.

My question is- is it possible to open Intent inside a panel? In iOS I can use Webview to open a PDF but in Android Webview does not support it.

Thank you.

It is not installed because there is no device connected. But the example can be compiled FINE here.

free-lib-b4apdfviewer-by-icefairy333???? this library is not related to PDFium

Looks like you are confusing different libraries and want to try an example from another library?

The example in PDFium-Thread linked above by @MarcoRome is working here.
