Android pdf reader

Question

I want to use Android pdf library http://andpdf.sourceforge.net/, but i have same error. Log:

 ST='file 'no file selected' not found'
 ST='reading page 1, zoom:1.0'

My classes:

public class Reader extends PdfViewerActivity {

 public int getPreviousPageImageResource() { return R.drawable.left_arrow; }
 public int getNextPageImageResource() { return R.drawable.right_arrow; }
 public int getZoomInImageResource() { return R.drawable.zoom_in; }
 public int getZoomOutImageResource() { return R.drawable.zoom_out; }
 public int getPdfPasswordLayoutResource() { return R.layout.pdf_file_password; }
 public int getPdfPageNumberResource() { return R.layout.dialog_pagenumber; }
 public int getPdfPasswordEditField() { return R.id.etPassword; }
 public int getPdfPasswordOkButton() { return R.id.btOK; }
 public int getPdfPasswordExitButton() { return R.id.btExit; }
 public int getPdfPageNumberEditField() { return R.id.pagenum_edit; }
}

and

public class StartScreen extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    Intent intent = new Intent(this, Reader.class);
     intent.putExtra(PdfViewerActivity.EXTRA_PDFFILENAME, "/sdcard/test.pdf");
     startActivity(intent);
}
}

Now we have this awesome library for PDF viewing:

https://github.com/JoanZapata/android-pdfview

It is really simple to use and has a lot of features:

Android PDFView is a library which provides a fast PDFView component for Android, with animations, gestures, and zoom. It's based on VuDroid for decoding the PDF file.

Just include the view in your XML and use it as follows:

pdfView.fromAsset(pdfName)
    .pages(0, 2, 1, 3, 3, 3)
    .defaultPage(1)
    .showMinimap(false)
    .enableSwipe(true)
    .onDraw(onDrawListener)
    .onLoad(onLoadCompleteListener)
    .onPageChange(onPageChangeListener)
    .load();

Heads up: It's a GPL library. Might not be appropriate for all projects. – steipete May 03 '16 at 15:16

@steipete Which essentially makes it useless for MOST android projects, as you have to make code of your whole app available. This does not appear to be the issue with the library itself, but with one of its dependencies. Author said: "Unfortunately my library is using VuDroid which uses MuPDF for rendering pdf pages. muPDF is licensed with GPL3 so I'm forced to use the same. " – CoolCodeBro May 14 '16 at 18:33

With PdfViewPager you can load and display PDF files easily. All the code you need is:

PdfViewPager pdfViewPager = new PDFViewPager(this, "sample.pdf");
setContentView(pdfViewPager);

Or you can embed it in your layout like this:

<es.voghdev.pdfviewpager.library.PDFViewPager
  android:id="@+id/pdfViewPager"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent"
  app:assetFileName="sample.pdf"/>

Have a look at the lib if you want to know more.
