I am using the jsPDF to convert the html to pdf file. In websites it works fine but in android webview when clicking a button it only reloads the page. I searched all but nothing works fine.

I added the below code in main activity:

mWebView.setDownloadListener(new DownloadListener() { public void onDownloadStart(String url, String userAgent, String contentDisposition, String mimetype, long contentLength) { Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); i.setData(Uri.parse(url)); startActivity(i); } });

I am new to android.
Please help me to find it. Thanks in advance.

I referred that also... but it gives a logcat error as no activity is present – Surya Sep 07 '16 at 11:51
For that `Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);` will be helpful. – buzzingsilently Sep 07 '16 at 12:37
After updating code, same error found that `PID: 13414 android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent` – Surya Sep 07 '16 at 12:58
