Hi mikejoll4, Tis could be because of several different things. It could be your internet connection, a problem with the server where the file is hosted, an error in the file itself, any number of things. Can you give us any more details? Does the console display any errors or useful information?

well the internet is fine. when i use a custom url it works like a charm. server works also along with the file. it says that it cannot display the webpage like i dont have internet, but that is not the case. plus when i use a .pdf doc in the bt_docs folder it says that the path is invalid, but when i put the pdf to my SD card it will open. just not in the app.

When embedding the .pdf file and it gives you the invalid path error are you referencing the file by its name only? like: file.pdf instead of BT_docs/file.pdf? You want to reference files (images, html, pdfs, etc) only by their file name and not the actual file path. By the way, are you using v1.5 for Android by chance?

PDF files are not supported in 1.5 yet unfortunately. This is the main thing keeping me back from 1.5. Can't wait for phase 2.

@ mikejoll4 - The README.txt file of your latest project download will clarify where v1.5 for Android stands in development. You can also check for updates in the Change Log: http://www.buzztouch.com/docs/v1.5/ Currently we are focused on releasing buzztouch server 2.0. It's scheduled for Nov. 1st, probably around 11;59pm PST. Update information will be available through your control panel. Releasing this will both give you guys an awesome tool to work with, and ease some of the server issues we have experienced with the constantly increasing traffic. See: http://www.buzztouch.com/roadmap/ Once that is all squared away we should have more free time to develop the phase 2 screens (plugins). The release of which will depend on the release of buzztouch server 2.0 and any bugs that need to be worked out.
