Not able to launch a pdf file in inappbrowser in android

by

Unlike iOS, which has a built-in PDF viewer – Android’s webview does not have PDF viewer built-in.
This is why it is going to fail in Android.

You have 2 choices in Android:

  1. View the file using Google Docs by storing the file at a remote server and redirecting the user like so: window.open(encodeURI('https://docs.google.com/gview?embedded=true&url=http://www.your-server.com/files/your_file.pdf'), '_blank', 'location=yes,EnableViewPortScale=yes');

  2. Or use a Cordova plug-in. For example this one (you can search in Google for more). For this, you’ll need to learn how to create Cordova plug-ins in Worklight.
