There is no "raw folder". Your project, on your PC, has a res/raw/ folder. That is not a folder on the Android device. It is not accessed via a file:/// URL. It is a type of resource, and its contents are accessed via getResources().openRawResource(). The contents of a resource like this are not accessible via Uri objects. Hence, there is no simple way for you to store a PDF as a raw resource in a project of yours and have it be displayed by some other application. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
