Somehow it is still impossible to freaking show a PDF in any kind of Android webview. Insane! My current workaround is converting PDFs to PNGs... so lame but the only reasonable option/fallback for now. =/ was (Author: chrisemersonnc): Sadly not that I'm aware of.

Insane! > Add PDF support to the InAppBrowser within Android > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CB-3325 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-3325 > Project: Apache Cordova > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Android > Affects Versions: 2.6.0 > Environment: Windows 7, Eclipse v3.8.0 > Reporter: Kelvin Dart > Priority: Minor > Fix For: Master > > > When I was making use of the ChildBrowser for both iOS and Android, I wrote > an extra bit of code to enable PDF support for the Android version (which > started up the installed PDF application if there was one). > I also understand that the Android WebView doesn't natively support viewing a > PDF document which is why it doesn't fully behave like the iOS version - but > is it possible to either: 1) write similar code which, if the opened URL is > directed to a PDF file, then it opens the native PDF reader or; 2) integrate > a PDF view into the InAppBrowser which opens a PDF document much like > InAppBrowser does on iOS. > (1) is what I currently have working at the moment and would probably be > easiest. (2) is what would be very good but I expect more difficult to > achieve. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@cordova.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@cordova.apache.org
