copied!<p>As Barak said you can copy it out of assets to internal storage or the SD card and open it from there using inbuilt pdf applications.</p> <p>Following Snippet will help you. (I have updated this code to write to and read files from internal storage.</p> <p>But i dont recommend this approach because pdf file can be more than 100mb in size.</p> <p>So its not recommended to save that huge file into internal storage</p> <p>Also make sure while saving file to internal storage you use </p> <pre><code>openFileOutput(file.getName(), Context.MODE_WORLD_READABLE); </code></pre> <p>Then only other applications can read it.</p> <p>Check following snippet.</p> <pre><code>package org.sample; import java.io.File; import java.io.IOException; import java.io.InputStream; import java.io.OutputStream; import android.app.Activity; import android.content.Context; import android.content.Intent; import android.content.res.AssetManager; import android.net.Uri; import android.os.Bundle; import android.util.Log; 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(), "git.pdf"); try { in = assetManager.open("git.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() + "/git.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); } } } </code></pre> <p>Make sure to include</p> <p><code><uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /></code> </p> <p>in manifest</p>
