Reading Pdf, Doc, Ppt and xls files in android and ios using phonegap

Question

I am searching for the way to open and read Pdf, Doc, Ppt and xls files in my hybrid app developed using Sencha Touch 2.4 with Phonegap (Android & Ios).

What i did so far

1. I got to know by searching that Ios WebView supports Pdf, Doc, Ppt, But not on Android WebView. So i can't use WebView for both Android and Ios.

2. Device need to work in offline So, i can't use google doc viewer.

3. Tried cordova-plugin-file-opener2 File Opener, But always getting "Error status: 9 - Error message: File not found"

How can i achieve this ?

Answer 1

try with inAppBrowser plugin

https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-inappbrowser

for iOS use

cordova.InAppBrowser.open('yourFileUrl', '_blank');

for android use:

cordova.InAppBrowser.open('yourFileUrl', '_system');
