I'm trying to read pdf files in my android application. I don't want to use the default pdf reader and simply open a new intent because I need my own GUI, and want to use the first page as a cover. Therefore I need to make my own pdf reader. I did some research and came across muPDF and Android PDF Viewer Library.

  1. I tried to follow tutorial to implement Android PDF Viewer Library, from the github description. But the problem is that it loads pdf file forever. Do I need to do something else than just the steps in the description?

  2. I can't find any tutorials for the muPDF library, are there any? How to implement it?

  3. If there is no useful answer for the previous two questions, are there any good pdf library out there with tutorials and good documentation?

Thank you, hopefully, I will be able to solve my problem

MuPDF is a very good library, you can definitely use it. If you need a complete example of Android app using MuPDF, I suggest you to take a look at this customizable magazine app on Github.
