Q: 

How to read a pdf in android

I want to read a PDF file in android. I placed my PDF files in the assets folder.

How can i read the PDF file from there?

PDF Reader Link

I have checked the above link but it does not work for me. It gives me an error saying that the Activity was not found.

And I also want to open a PDF file in WebView. So is it possible to read PDF in WebView?

+3  A: 

You need to have a application which can support that mimetype and open it. In your device/emulator that app is not installed so it is throwing error

You cant read a PDF file through WebView. Try it yourself, open the browser and google for a pdf. Try to open it... you will be prompted to download it and open it with another application...

Yes you are right. Another alternative i found out that convert pdf pages into png and display them in webview.
