Majic Lost but trying Posts: 16 Reg: Jan 11, 2012 Leicester, UK 1,560	confirm \| cancel 01/15/12 06:02 AM (14 years ago) Thankyou GoNorthWest and a .pdf problem I have just created my first Android App using BT1.4 and your guides under the resources section. Just wanted to say thanks! It's an App to help junior (residents where your from) doctor induction in a new department. Quite simple - text, pdf links etc but hopefully effective! .............. Only problem I seem to be have is the App not loading the .pdf files - error is 'your device does not support .pdf files' I have tried this on both the Android 2.2 and 4.0 emulator with the same results. I understand BT 1.5 does not support .pdf at present but am using 1.4. My thought was that this was because the emulator does not have a pdf viewer pre-loaded but I can't seem to download this onto the emulators via the Android market as it says I do not have a device linked to my account. Any ideas? Will this still be a problem on an Android device? I do not have access to one at present to do a real test.

Download a PDF Viewer from market. Many free ones out there. PDF's, Word DOcs and PPT all work. They do on my apps...

Please don't hesitate to let me know of improvements if you find some! As mentioned above, PDF is not supported in v1.4, but is in v1.5 and BT Server. However, your emulator will need some sort of plugin in order to view them...I've not been successful in getting that to work yet, so if somebody does, let know!

I checked and I recall now that I changed them to Google docs to get around that issue. Does not work on the device or the emulator. But IOS works just fine....

Mictam Lost but trying Posts: 9 Reg: Dec 29, 2011 San Bernardino 90	01/19/12 01:25 PM (14 years ago) Here is an odd thing with .pdf in v1.4. I have loaded .apk to EVO. I can't get them to work if they are in an rss feed. I also can't get them to work if clicking in the rss feed opens web page where .pdf link is located. I CAN get them to work if loaded as .pdf file through pdf menu in development on here. Comments Here is an odd thing with .pdf in v1.4. I have loaded .apk to EVO.
