I created an app, that views pdf files. These files are working fine on iOS version, but I could not manage to run them on Android simulator!!! I need your advice .. one option is to convert these files to jpeg files, but is there any better option ??

Hi Black Light, On Android are you being prompted with what PDF reader you would like the document to be opened with? That's the bummer about Android. IOS can display PDF's natively but Android is looking for a PDF reader on the device to open the document.

Ye, it asks for PDF reader, I am looking for natively supported file-type by android, any suggestions ? Thanks,

Yeah... that's one of the things about Android. It's not native like iOS is for something. For other things it's remarkably simple, but PDF isn't one of those things. You'll either need to get an app like adobe reader to 'assist', or find a different display method. Cheers! -- Smug

You can make them effectively run like they do in iOS. Under the "How Tos" section on Buzztouch, follow the "Intercepting Menu Taps" instructions from David. Once that is followed and you have a PDF reader installed on the device, it's about at seamless as iOS. I have found though that the instructions don't work with Chris's menu plugin, but they do with the menuListSimple and I think menuWithImage. It seems counterintuitive that the menu plugins are what needs the mod but I have several published apps that work with this procedure. For it to run on the sim you will have to install a PDF reader on the AVD too. I find it easier to test on an Android device instead of the sim for this reason. Tim

good stuff Tim!

lol good ole Android and the readers..lol LA

totally LA!
