How can I reference these assets then using a file:// or similar syntax, so
that when starting them as an intent it will safely expose it to a PDF
viewer already installed on the device?
For instance, let's assume that I've got a Moto Droid 1 with Quickoffice
preinstalled. I'm using code like:
Uri path = Uri.parse("... what goes here???");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(path, "application/pdf");
....
this.ctx.startActivity(intent);
It continuously has problems loading the file, claiming the file does not
exist.
