# flutter pdf viewer
A native Pdf viewer for flutter, built on [AndroidPdfViewer](https://github.com/barteksc/AndroidPdfViewer).
*P.S. Android Only!*
## Features

## Security
- Features _fast_ native speed XOR - decryption of files.

## Drawbacks
- Inline Pdf Viewing is not supported. ( A new activity is opened ). See [#1](https://github.com/pycampers/flutter_pdf_viewer/issues/1).
A proof of concept for inline PDFs is available at the [inline](https://github.com/pycampers/flutter_pdf_viewer/tree/inline) branch.
## Install
To use this plugin, follow the [installation instructions](https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/flutter_pdf_viewer#-installing-tab-).
License: MIT
#### NOTE: You must add these lines at `android/app/build.gradle`.
(This is required by [ExoPlayer](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer), which is used to play videos).
```
android {
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}
}
```
## Example
```sh
$ git clone https://github.com/pycampers/flutter_pdf_viewer.git
$ cd flutter_pdf_viewer/example
$ flutter run
```
## Preview
## Generating 64-bit APKs
The Underlying native library tends to blow up the APK size. So, you can build a separate APK for each CPU architecture.
This will also fix an issue with flutter tooling, where 64-bit ARM devices don't work.
Add the following section in `android/app/build.gradle` -
```
android {
defaultConfig {
ndk {
abiFilters ""
}
}
}
```
- For 32-bit APK, replace `` with `armeabi-v7a`, and run `$ flutter build apk --release` as usual.
- For 64-bit APK, replace `` with `arm64-v8a`, and run `$ flutter build apk --release --target-platform=android-arm64`.
Now you have 2 Apks, which you will need to publish separately to the Play Store. For that you need to tweak the `android:versionCode` property to have slightly different values for each build.
The exact "Rules for multiple APKs" can be found [here](https://developer.android.com/google/play/publishing/multiple-apks).
## Thanks
- [AndroidPdfViewer](https://github.com/barteksc/AndroidPdfViewer) for proving this wonderful, and simple to use library.
