Show base64 string PDF in a Webview in Android

Question

I am getting base64 data from the server. I want to show that in a Webview. Tried the below methods but not working

    web_pdf.loadData(decodedContent.toString(), "application/pdf", "charset=UTF-8");

Any suggestions!

Answer 1

WebView does not support showing PDF files (besides using external services like the Google Docs viewer which requires an URL to the PDF file). You have to choose another method. Just search the web for something like "android show pdf".

will help.
