Answer 1

To handle your needs, you need to download the PDF and store it into the device storage, so you can use it as you want using their path.

Here's a full example of how to download a PDF file and open it when the download is finished :

String PDF_URL = "https://perso.univ-rennes1.fr/pierre.nerzic/Android/poly.pdf";



@SuppressLint("StaticFieldLeak")
private class DownloadFile extends AsyncTask<String, Integer, String> {

    String savedFilePath = null;
    ProgressDialog progressDialog;

    @Override
    protected void onPreExecute() {
        super.onPreExecute();
        //To ignore the file URI exposure.
        StrictMode.VmPolicy.Builder builder = new StrictMode.VmPolicy.Builder();
        StrictMode.setVmPolicy(builder.build());

        progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(PickLocationActivity.this);
        progressDialog.setTitle("Downloading PDF");
        progressDialog.setMessage("Please wait (0%)");
        progressDialog.show();
    }

    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(String... urlParams) {
        int count;
        String fileName = urlParams[1] + ".pdf";
        File storageDir = new File(
                Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS)
                        + "/PDF_FOLDER/");
        boolean success = true;
        if (!storageDir.exists()) {
            success = storageDir.mkdirs();
        }
        if (success) {
            File file = new File(storageDir, fileName);
            savedFilePath = file.getAbsolutePath();
            if (!file.exists()) {
                try {
                    URL url = new URL(urlParams[0]);
                    URLConnection conexion = url.openConnection();
                    conexion.connect();
                    int lenghtOfFile = conexion.getContentLength();
                    InputStream input = new BufferedInputStream(url.openStream());
                    OutputStream output = new FileOutputStream(file);
                    byte data[] = new byte[1024];
                    long total = 0;
                    while ((count = input.read(data)) != -1) {
                        total += count;
                        publishProgress((int) (total * 100 / lenghtOfFile));
                        output.write(data, 0, count);
                    }
                    output.flush();
                    output.close();
                    input.close();
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }

        }
        return savedFilePath;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onProgressUpdate(Integer... values) {
        super.onProgressUpdate(values);
        progressDialog.setMessage("Please wait (" + values[0] + "%)");
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(String pdfPath) {
        super.onPostExecute(pdfPath);
        if (pdfPath != null && !pdfPath.isEmpty()) {
            File pdfFile = new File(pdfPath);
            if (pdfFile.exists()) {
                progressDialog.dismiss();
                Uri path = Uri.fromFile(pdfFile);
                Intent Go = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
                Go.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
                Go.setDataAndType(path, "application/pdf");
                Go.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
                startActivity(Go);
            }
        }
    }
}

call it like this : new DownloadFile().execute(PDF_URL, "PDF_NAME"); don't forget to add INTERNET , READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permissions on your AndroidManifest.xml

Otherwise, you can use this library PdfViewPager and go to Remote PDF's from a URL , it's doing the same thing (downloading PDF file into your device storage first)

Answer 2

I need to download file to open it , i can't open it in inbuilt/default pdfviewer using uri

String url = "given";
 DownloadManager downloadmanager = (DownloadManager) getSystemService(Context.DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
                    DownloadManager.Request request = new DownloadManager.Request(Uri.parse(url));
                    request.setTitle(name);
                    request.setAllowedNetworkTypes(DownloadManager.Request.NETWORK_WIFI |
                            DownloadManager.Request.NETWORK_MOBILE);
                   request.setAllowedOverRoaming(false);
                    request.setDescription("Downloading");
                    request.allowScanningByMediaScanner();
                    request.setNotificationVisibility(DownloadManager.Request.VISIBILITY_VISIBLE_NOTIFY_COMPLETED);
                    request.setDestinationInExternalPublicDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS,name);
                    request.setMimeType(".pdf");

                    id = downloadmanager.enqueue(request);

using downloadManager is better way, so i used it
