Remove sign in button in google docs webview in android

I am showing PDF files by using google docs in WebView in android. How to remove or hide "Sign In" button? I have attached screenshot below. Thanks in advance.

webview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);
webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webview.loadUrl("https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://www.ex.com/terms.pdf");
webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return false;
}
});

enter image description here

Solution

  • Add the embedded=true parameter.

    webview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);
webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webview.loadUrl("https://docs.google.com/viewer?embedded=true&url=https://orimi.com/pdf-test.pdf");
webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
    @Override
    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
        view.loadUrl(url);
        return false;
    }
});
