Tiziano Cialfi commented on CB-3325:
------------------------------------
Hello,
I'm Tiziano, developer of an italian software house that is developing an app
for a major international broker.
We chose Cordova since it is the best tool to take advantage of cross-platform.
Are you planning to implement displaying pdfs in inappbrowser?
Otherwise, can you give us some indication on how to solve the problem? For
weeks we seek out communities and forums and found no answer.
Pdf that we try to show is provided by a web-service in base64 format, so
neither GoogleDocs, nor direct download of the file on the device do the job.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your kind attention.
Regards,
Tiziano
> Add PDF support to the InAppBrowser within Android

> Key: CB-3325
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-3325
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Android
> Affects Versions: 2.6.0
> Environment: Windows 7, Eclipse v3.8.0
> Reporter: Kelvin Dart
> Assignee: Joe Bowser
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: Master
>
>
> When I was making use of the ChildBrowser for both iOS and Android, I wrote
> an extra bit of code to enable PDF support for the Android version (which
> started up the installed PDF application if there was one).
> I also understand that the Android WebView doesn't natively support viewing a
> PDF document which is why it doesn't fully behave like the iOS version - but
> is it possible to either: 1) write similar code which, if the opened URL is
> directed to a PDF file, then it opens the native PDF reader or; 2) integrate
> a PDF view into the InAppBrowser which opens a PDF document much like
> InAppBrowser does on iOS.
> (1) is what I currently have working at the moment and would probably be
> easiest. (2) is what would be very good but I expect more difficult to
> achieve.
