The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth.

ReplyDeleteNo, there is no native API provided by android, you can use some third party APIs to read pdf and all.

String weblink="http://docs.google.com/gview?embedded=true&url="+pdfurl;
mWebView.loadUrl(weblink);
Some of them can open using default activity with ACTION_VIEW. For other we have to external API to open them. But i am not sure which one will definitely open using ACTION_VIEW but you can give a try to them by using URI.
ReplyDeleteBut most important thing as Saurabh Pareek said there is not native classes in
android
There are some Apps therefor, try DocumentsToGo or OfficeSuite Professional 5. The Pro Version of Quick Office will do that too.
