Answer 1

Many libraries are available for showing pdfs within your own app.

• Android PDF Viewer
• VuDroid
• APDFViewer
• droidreader
• android-pdf
• mupdf
• android-pdfView

For a working example using android-pdfView, see this blog post. It demonstrates the basic usage of the library to display pdf onto the view with vertical and horizontal swipe.

pdfView = (PDFView) findViewById(R.id.pdfView);
pdfView.fromFile(new File("/storage/sdcard0/Download/pdf.pdf")).defaultPage(1).enableSwipe(true).onPageChange(this).load();
