Hi, regarding evince, perhaps better than having an evince activity would be to have a python component that gives the capability of reading pdfs, ps, etc, to the other activities.
This component would embed evince and expose an api for turning pages, searching, etc. I have seen some work on an evince activity on the git repository but I think there are some files missing.
