Android Question Android-pdf-viewer.aar missing

[SoftHeart]

Hello coding friends,

i have downloaded multiple pdf viewing libraries on this forum together with their example b4a projects only to find that all are not working and they display the same error. The error says B4A could not find a file named Android-pdf-viewer.aar. Anyone to help me fix this?

Here is a screenshot of the error.

Where did you copy the additional AAR to?
Which path did you define in Tools-Configure paths for the "Additional Libs" Folder?

I copied all the files in the zip to my b4a Additional libraries folder.

Which path did you define in Tools-Configure paths for the "Additional Libs" Folder?

C:\B4X\AdditionalLibraries

Have you try jetify the library?
From menu Tools --> Jetifier

Have you try to copy the files in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Anywhere Software\Basic4android\Libraries
instead
C:\B4X\AdditionalLibraries

100% the WRONG solution

I agree.
Just an easy way to find out if security restrictions exist in C:\B4X\AdditionalLibraries

I tried, still not working.

This is my first time to open the Jetifier feature of the IDE and I don't know what it does. Anyway i didn't see PDFfium on it's list as well. Here is a screenshot of how it appeared.

This means that the file, android-pdf-viewer.aar is not in the additional libraries folder.

Hi ! I'm having the same problem.
I'm secure android-pdf-viewer.aar is in the additional libraries folder
The latest release of b4a(v10.7), java, android sdk Command line tools and required resources (from here https://www.b4x.com/b4a.html)
Using the v1.04 and the example project from https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/pdfium-pdfview2.102756/
Already use the jetifier tool.

I just don't know that else to do ?
