I have a JQuery mobile application and used phonegap/cordova Android to convert it to an apk, I have a page which makes an ajax call with userid and password to a httpservice and retrieve a link to pdf file.

I want the user be able to open or download this file, the response result is a url like www.site.com/results/4524dfdssd.pdf,

i tried all methods discussed here but no success like Inappbrowser or FileTransfer any help please.

System is different from mobile. You can use pdf-viewers to view the pdf from mobile. For example, MuPdf Viewer – Mohammed Imran N Dec 24 '14 at 11:40
