Android PdfRendererBasic Sample

This sample demonstrates how to display PDF document on screen using the PdfRenderer introduced in Android 5.0 Lollipop.

Introduction

You can now render PDF document pages into bitmap images for printing by using the new PdfRenderer class. You must specify a ParcelFileDescriptor that is seekable (that is, the content can be randomly accessed) on which the system writes the the printable content. Your app can obtain a page for rendering with openPage(), then call [render()][4] to turn the opened [PdfRenderer.Page][5] into a bitmap.

This sample loads the PDF from assets. Contents of assets are compressed by default, but we disable it since PdfRenderer class cannot handle it.

android {
    aaptOptions {
        noCompress "pdf"
    }
}
