I am trying to read a pdf file from assets folder which is present in my application folder . Everything is working perfectly when i click on my DOCS button a pop up comes to let me choose an application for opening the pdf i.e "abc.pdf" but after selecting an option i get an error message "The file path is not valid". I think their is some problem with the path which i have specified in the code. please help
Try this
public class SampleActivity extends Activity
{
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
CopyReadAssets();
}
private void CopyReadAssets()
{
AssetManager assetManager = getAssets();
InputStream in = null;
OutputStream out = null;
File file = new File(getFilesDir(), "abc.pdf");
try
{
in = assetManager.open("abc.pdf");
out = openFileOutput(file.getName(), Context.MODE_WORLD_READABLE);
copyFile(in, out);
in.close();
in = null;
out.flush();
out.close();
out = null;
} catch (Exception e)
{
Log.e("tag", e.getMessage());
}
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(
Uri.parse("file://" + getFilesDir() + "/abc.pdf"),
"application/pdf");
startActivity(intent);
}
private void copyFile(InputStream in, OutputStream out) throws IOException
{
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int read;
while ((read = in.read(buffer)) != -1)
{
out.write(buffer, 0, read);
}
}
}
