description
Costumer is attempting to load a pdf for android using intents with webview.
in the mobile app they are using webview control for displaying the remote web site by binding a URL. The web pages in the web site contains few pdf links. On click of normal hyperlinks, respective web page is being shown in the web view. Whereas, on tapping a pdf links, a blank window is getting opened in Android devices. In iOS it’s working fine and a PDF is showing.
Per Jira WebView cannot disply PDF documents on Android. So they are using intents as a workaround to open the PDF link. The issue is that on click of the pdf link in the web view, they are unable to get the exact PDF url with any of Titanium WebView API methods or events
The customer was able to do it natively and open the PDF's with intents.
Request
The customer wants to know how to get the exact PDF link using the webview API or if there is a workaround they could use.
