Can't see my PDF files in Emulator

Is there a simple way to add the ability to see my PDF files on the Emulator?

Here's a link that shows you how to install an apk into your emulator: http://www.androidaz.com/development/how-install-application-and-copy-files-android-emulator And here's the Adobe Reader PDF apk: http://thunderstruck.com/android/AdobeReader.apk Mark

Downloaded the pdf reader and installed on emulator. I uploaded a pdf file to file manager here and selected plugin but when I open it on the emulator it says no pdf file. I missed something. I wish at this point not to have a link.

Hi LA, Unless you provided the URL to the pdf file in your file manager, it won't work. And, make sure there are no spaces, special characters, or caps in your file name. If that's all in place, make sure you do a Refresh All Data on your app in the Emulator to update the config information. Mark

So I need to use the link option then and put the url to the file manager on here. How do I find the url? Do I need the self-hosted option plan on here to do that?

This works in buzztouch.com v2 and self-hosted. Once you have uploaded the document, hover your mouse over the filename, right-click and select "Copy Link" or whatever it says that's like that. Then use that link. Mark
