PDFTron Android Sample PDF instead of XOD

[Bradley Gough]

Using the Android sample in the WebViewer folder I have an application in Android Studio which when run on my device works and displays the xod file given as expected. However I've tried to change the lines:

String documentPath = getFilesDir().getPath() + "/GettingStarted.xod";
InputStream in = getAssets().open("xod/GettingStarted.xod");

to

String documentPath = getFilesDir().getPath() + "/sample.pdf";
InputStream in = getAssets().open("xod/sample.pdf");

And have also changed the endsWith(".xod") to endsWith(".pdf") but I only get a grey screen. For this to work does the file have to be a .xod? As it works for xod files but not pdf files.

Thanks for your time.

Hello Bradley,

Yes, currently WebViewer for Android only supports XOD files due to performance limitations of mobile devices.
