implementation 'io.github.afreakyelf:Pdf-Viewer:latest-version'
}
```
### Kotlin DSL
```gradle
dependencies {
// Replace 'latest-version' with the actual latest version number
implementation("io.github.afreakyelf:Pdf-Viewer:latest-version")
}
```
## How to use the library?
Now you have integrated the library in your project but **how do you use it**? Well it's really easy. Just launch the intent with in following way: (Refer to [MainActivity.kt](https://github.com/afreakyelf/Pdf-Viewer/blob/master/app/src/main/java/com/rajat/sample/pdfviewer/MainActivity.kt) for more details.)

### Launching PDF Viewer
#### Opening PDF from a URL
To display a PDF from a URL, use the following code:
```kotlin
/* Parameters:
- context: The context of your activity.
- pdfUrl: URL of the PDF to be displayed.
- pdfTitle: Title of the PDF document.
- saveTo: Determines how to handle saving the PDF (e.g., ASK_EVERYTIME prompts the user each time).
- enableDownload: Enables downloading of the PDF. */
PdfViewerActivity.launchPdfFromUrl(
context = this,
pdfUrl = "your_pdf_url_here",
pdfTitle = "PDF Title",
saveTo = PdfViewerActivity.saveTo.ASK_EVERYTIME,
enableDownload = true
)
```
#### Opening PDF from Local Storage
To open a PDF stored in local storage:
```kotlin
/* Parameters:
- path: File path or URI of the local PDF.
- fromAssets: Set to false when loading from local storage. // FALSE by default
*/
PdfViewerActivity.launchPdfFromPath(
context = this,
path = "your_file_path_or_uri_here",
pdfTitle = "Title",
saveTo = PdfViewerActivity.saveTo.ASK_EVERYTIME,
fromAssets = false
)
```
#### Opening PDF from Assets
To open a PDF from the app's assets folder:
```kotlin
/* Parameters:
- path: File path or URI of the local PDF.
- fromAssets: Set to true when loading from assets.
*/
PdfViewerActivity.launchPdfFromPath(
context = this,
path = "file_name_in_assets",
pdfTitle = "Title",
saveTo = PdfViewerActivity.saveTo.ASK_EVERYTIME,
fromAssets = true
)
```
#### Loading PDF in a View
Load a PDF directly into a view:
Add PDF render view in your layout file
```xml
```
and in your kotlin file
```kotlin
binding.pdfView.initWithUrl(
url = "your_pdf_url_here",
lifecycleCoroutineScope = lifecycleScope,
lifecycle = lifecycle
)
```
#### Using with Jetpack Compose
For Jetpack Compose, utilize PdfRendererViewCompose:
```kotlin
PdfRendererViewCompose(
url = "your_pdf_url_here",
lifecycleOwner = LocalLifecycleOwner.current
)
```
That's pretty much it and you're all wrapped up.
