Hi Kevin,
I’m using Ionic’s platform object to show the device info and it is showing
isAndroid to be true. I’ve injected the $cordovaAppInBrowser module into my
controller and then call it with:
$cordovaAppInBrowser.open(…); // with the _system target.
This is what the ngCordova document advises, see:
http://ngcordova.com/docs/plugins/inAppBrowser/
However, NOTHING happens.
My debug shows the URI is:
blob:file%3A///8100/b1a1931e-a592-489e-84cd-ceb327e363ff
and while it looks weird, it works perfectly fine for rendering images and PDFs
on an iOS device. FYI, that URI is what I get after I retrieve an attachment
from CouchDB then ask for it to return a trusted link to it:
var blobURL =
URL.createObjectURL(blobObj);
if (appConfig.devMode)
{console.log('Retrieved the URL:', blobURL);}
$timeout ( function ()
{
deferred.resolve($sce.trustAsResourceUrl(blobURL) );
},1200 );
The point is, though, that this URI works fine everywhere BUT for the Android
inAppBrowswer :(
Any other ideas would be REALLY appreciated :)
Thanks,
Ralph

Thus: window.open(pdfUrl, '_system'); You can use `device.platform` to detect whether your app is running on Android using cordova-plugin-device from npm. Android's webview doesn't natively support PDF rendering like iOS's does.

I also feel the frustration of having to find a workaround.

Otherwise, can you give us some indication on how to solve the problem? For weeks we seek out communities and forums and found no answer. Pdf that we try to show is provided by a web-service in base64 format, so neither GoogleDocs, nor direct download of the file on the device do the job. Any ideas? Thanks for your kind attention.
