Android PdfRendererBasic Sample (Kotlin)

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() to turn the opened
PdfRenderer.Page into a bitmap.

This sample loads the PDF from assets. Contents of assets are compressed by
default, and the PdfRenderer class cannot open it. In this sample, we work
around this by copying the file into the cache directory.

Pre-requisites

  • Android SDK 27
