How to open pdf file from server without saving it on device and without using any third party application.because i don't want my user to download any application to use my apps.And i don't want to use web view for opening pdf file.
There is no way you can open a default PDF view from your application.
If your file is on the server and you want to open it without downloading then this might also pose a greater security concern. If external applications like default adobe reader can access the content on your server, then this is breaking the security framework altogether.
So, best option would be to launch a new instance of browser or webview and show the PDF document in google docs to the user.
This way user can read the document and get back to the recent state of the application as well.
