MuPDFDemo-Java

Demo app to show how to use MuPDF Library for Android.

Introduction:

MuPDF is a lightweight PDF and XPS viewer for Android and iOS. There are many other libraries that provide PDF support but MuPDF is by far the best that we have used.

Showing PDF:

With this method you can choose how to show the PDF file.

        private void displayPDF(String path) throws Exception {
        /*Reading file from URI*/
        byte buffer[] = null;
        Uri uri = Uri.parse(path);
        try {
            InputStream is = getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri);
            int len = is.available();
            buffer = new byte[len];
            is.read(buffer, 0, len);
            is.close();
        } catch (OutOfMemoryError e) {
            System.out.println("Out of memory during buffer reading");
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("Exception reading from stream: " + e);
            try {
                Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(uri, new String[]{"_data"}, null, null, null);
                if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
                    String str = cursor.getString(0);
                    if (str == null) {
                    } else {
                        uri = Uri.parse(str);
                    }
                }
            } catch (Exception e2) {
                System.out.println("Exception in Transformer Prime file manager code: " + e2);
            }
        }
        MuPDFCore core = new MuPDFCore(getApplicationContext(), buffer, null);
        MuPDFReaderView mDocView = new MuPDFReaderView(getApplicationContext());
        mDocView.setAdapter(new MuPDFPageAdapter(getApplicationContext(), null, core));
        pdfViewRL.addView(mDocView, new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
        
        /*Use this if you want to open PDF outside app using MuPDF's own Activity*/

        /*Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MuPDFActivity.class);
        intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
        intent.setData(Uri.parse(path));
        startActivity(intent);*/
        
    }
