I am working on an application where I need to show PDF files from local storage. Currently I'm using this com.github.barteksc:android-pdf-viewer:2.8.2 library to read PDF files.
After build a release apk I got surprised that - my app size increased 22.6MB after using this library.
I have also searched in Android official docs for a better solution. I got PdfRenderer class. Unfortunately, this class added from API level 21. But my app minSDKVersion is 14.
How can I reduce apk size with pdf reader functionality? Or Is there any light-weight pdf library to read pdf files in Android?
Alternative for this SDK is opening the PDF in a webview - possible solution.
