android: open a pdf from my app without using pdf viewer

Question

I want to be able to open a pdf file from my application without any other application like pdf viewer. I don't want to make the user install an other appliation to open pdf files. Is there any open source library that I can use in my project?

You can open a PDF in a webview using google docs. The URL format is

https://docs.google.com/gview?embedded=true&url=http://link.to.your/pdf_file.pdf

You can use, for instance, MuPdf Reader. I described how to build it here.
