Display PDF file inside my android application

Question

I cannot figure out how to show a PDF file inside an Android application  So far I ve found out that it is possible to launch an Intent and open the PDF using the Android default app  But I want to view PDF file directly inside my application without exiting  I have an header and a footer in my layout - I d like to open the PDF in between  I have also found a PdfReader jar file from github com  but it opens the PDF in a new activity

you can use webview to show the pdf inside an application   for that you have to      convert the pdf to html file and store it in asset folder load the html file to the web view      Many pdf to html online converter available   Example       consent web    WebView  findViewById R id consentweb       consent web getSettings   setLoadWithOverviewMode true       consent web getSettings   setUseWideViewPort true       consent web loadUrl  file    android asset spacs html html

I do not think that you can do this easily  you should consider this answer here   How can I display a pdf document into a Webview   basically you ll be able to see a pdf if it is hosted online via google documents  but not if you have it in your device  you ll need a standalone reader for that
