How to download a pdf file in Android?

by

Download a pdf:

 startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("www.education.gov.yk.ca/pdf/pdf-test.pdf")));

Ah as I’ve just found out this is device dependent.

scenarios

  1. It will download the pdf to your browser/downloaded/ folder

  2. You have a google docs account – It will ask you to sign in then view the pdf in the browser

  3. You have a pdf reader installed – App dependent may catch it may not

In all scenarios though the user has access to the PDF with one line of code 🙂
