You can use mozilla pdf.js.

An example project on how you do this in Android . An example project made by Butelo .

As the LinX64 user pointed out, this can only be used on android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN and above.

You should use third-party libraries for these products, in my opinion, the native browser for Android does not support this pdf format.

For example, in order to answer the above users, this is only available on + android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN

Check this out too:

// The default value is true for the android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH_MR1 API level and below, // and false for the android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN API level and higher.

 if(android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN)
