[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/voghDev/PdfViewPager.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/voghDev/PdfViewPager)

Android widget to display PDF documents in your Activities or Fragments.

Important note: **PDFViewPager** uses [PdfRenderer][6] class, which works **only on API 21 or higher**.
See [Official doc][6] for details.

If you are targeting pre-Lollipop devices, have a look at the [legacy sample][7]

Installation
------------

Add this line in your *app/build.gradle*

implementation 'es.voghdev.pdfviewpager:library:1.1.2'

If you want to use the old `android.support` instead of `androidx`, add this dependency

implementation 'es.voghdev.pdfviewpager:library:1.0.6'

Usage
-----

Use **PDFViewPager** class to load PDF files from assets or SD card

![Screenshot][localPDFScreenshot] ![Screenshot][zoomingScreenshot]

1.- Copy your assets to cache directory if your PDF is located on assets directory

CopyAsset copyAsset = new CopyAssetThreadImpl(context, new Handler());
copyAsset.copy(asset, new File(getCacheDir(), "sample.pdf").getAbsolutePath());

2a.- Create your **PDFViewPager** passing your PDF file, located in *assets* (see [sample][8])

pdfViewPager = new PDFViewPager(this, "sample.pdf");

2b.- Or directly, declare it on your XML layout

It will automatically have zooming and panning capability

3.- Release adapter in *onDestroy*

@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();

((PDFPagerAdapter) pdfViewPager.getAdapter()).close();
}

PDF's on SD card
----------------

1.- Create a **PDFViewPager** object, passing the file location in your SD card

PDFViewPager pdfViewPager = new PDFViewPager(context, getPdfPathOnSDCard());

protected String getPdfPathOnSDCard() {
File f = new File(getExternalFilesDir("pdf"), "adobe.pdf");
return f.getAbsolutePath();
}

2.- Don't forget to release the adapter in *onDestroy*

@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();

((PDFPagerAdapter) pdfViewPager.getAdapter()).close();
}

Remote PDF's from a URL
-----------------------

![Screenshot][remotePDFScreenshot]

1.- Add `INTERNET`, `READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` and `WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` permissions on your AndroidManifest.xml



2.- Make your Activity or Fragment implement DownloadFile.Listener

public class RemotePDFActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements DownloadFile.Listener {

3.- Create a **RemotePDFViewPager** object

String url = "http://www.cals.uidaho.edu/edComm/curricula/CustRel_curriculum/content/sample.pdf";

RemotePDFViewPager remotePDFViewPager =
new RemotePDFViewPager(context, url, this);

4.- Configure the corresponding callbacks and they will be called on each situation.

@Override
public void onSuccess(String url, String destinationPath) {
// That's the positive case. PDF Download went fine

adapter = new PDFPagerAdapter(this, "AdobeXMLFormsSamples.pdf");
remotePDFViewPager.setAdapter(adapter);
setContentView(remotePDFViewPager);
}

@Override
public void onFailure(Exception e) {
// This will be called if download fails
}

@Override
public void onProgressUpdate(int progress, int total) {
// You will get download progress here
// Always on UI Thread so feel free to update your views here
}

5.- Don't forget to close adapter in *onDestroy* to release all resources

@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();

adapter.close();
}

Usage in Kotlin
---------------

As you might figure out, the library is fully usable in Kotlin programming language. You can find example code [here][12].

Just import the library as a gradle dependency as you would do in Java.

TODOs
-----

- [X] Make initial Pdf scale setable by code *(requested by various users on issues)*
- [X] Load PDF documents from SD card
- [X] Make PDF documents zoomable with pinch and double tap (two approaches, [ImageViewZoom][5] and [photoview][11])
- [X] Unify all features in only one **PDFViewPager** and **PDFPagerAdapter** class
- [X] Support API Levels under 21, by downloading PDF and invoking system native intent.
- [X] UI tests
- [X] Add checkstyle, refactor & improve code quality

See [changelog][4] for details
