Android Question PDF Viewer?

Moosi · Jun 28, 2016

Hi all,

I´m searching the forum quite a while to find a solution to simply show an PDF in my app.
I found some threads with some information on this topic but nothing seemed to be a robust solution.
All I found looked more like a workaround than a professional solution to use in an commercial App.

How do you guys show PDFs in your Apps? Do I miss the obvious solution?
Is there a commercial Library? I wouldn't mind to pay some hundred bucks on a stable working solution, if there is any.

Thanks for your help.

If none of the solutions you've found here work for you, then you could use an intent to open a PDF reader, of course, you will have to write the code to ask the user to download a viewer from Google Play in the event that there's none installed on the user's device.

Thanks,
the user experience of installing and opening an external app is not perfect. I tested with the intent already, because this is often mentioned here.
Don´t get me wrong, I´m not looking for a "no code / one click" solution, I need a robust commercial solution that works on most Android Versions (17+) and devices.
Some of the free PDF Viewer here had performance issues and some rendering problems with transparency in PDFs. That´s why I asked.

I did some tests with radaeepdf this morning. That doesn't look too bad, and the 550€ sound ok as well.

anyway, thanks for your time.
