Published on 28 Aug 2020

Hello,

I want to open PDF file inside the App, i have used file viewer plugin for this, but still it doesn't open, And the pdf url comes from the web services, i have perfectly consumed the web service  .

I have attached two screens... Seeing that screens you can easily understand what i want to do.



In Above screens when user click on Holiday List then PDF File should be open in another screen.


Thanks & Regards

Shivani Singhania

Hi Shivani,

Maybe there's a more elegant way to do it in a mobile app, but you could try to use this old webapp trick which is to use an IFrame whose "src" attribute is the URL to the PDF file. Here's a sample OML.

Dear Aurelio,

Thanks for quick reply, Its working now for all other URL inside the app but not working for below URL.

Both URL is working on browser instead of outsystem app. Kindly help.

Hi Shivani,

 It seems that you're problem is already solved.. the problem now is that your .pdf is on a https:// domain instead on https:// for that you can try creating your REST API to get the file and provide the pdf as output.


Cheers,

Hi Aurelio,

I know this is very old post, but I was trying the method you shared and it is working in browser as well as in Outsystems app but it is not working when I generate a native application and install it in android phone. So when I click on the document file name it redirects to next screen where I have created the iframe and displaying the document but it is showing blank screen in native application, but working fine in browser as well as in Outsystems app. Can you please where I am going wrong.

Thankyou
