Xamarin forms download pdf
This will be just a quick-and-dirty blog on showing PDF files in your Xamarin. Forms application. Showing a PDF file seems a very easy task, and depending on what platform you are targeting; it is. It will show nicely. You will just have to add a teensy bit of magic to enable zooming, but that is it.
For Android and Windows it is a bit different. Ideally, you would want to keep your users in your app when showing a PDF file. Forms way. I will start with the shared Forms code and then implement iOS, since that is the easiest one. This way we could choose to cache it and not having to download it every time.
You could choose to just load the external URL and show that. In the shared code I have a very simple page which shows a WebView. Normally you would probably not have xamarin forms download pdf page as a first, but somewhere in your app when navigating to an invoice for example.
The UI can be see underneath. The custom PdfWebView control is literally nothing more than just a inheritance of the regular WebView. This is needed so I can create a custom renderer for it. The code-behind for this page is a bit more extensive. In the constructor a URL is provided which is xamarin forms download pdf processed through the ILocalFileProvider, which is the dependency service code to save the file to the right place and tell us where that place is.
Another thing that you will also notice is that there is a distinction between Android and the rest. Depending on what platforms you will implement you need smarter if-statements or just a better approach altogether, but this will give you the general idea. Before we move on to the platform code, notice that at the xamarin forms download pdf of the constructor, for Android we set a special URL, xamarin forms download pdf, while for iOS we just set the WebView source to the local file path.
More on that later. As I said; I have implemented some code to download the file first. So basically, what happens is I provide the downloaded stream already together with a filename, xamarin forms download pdf, this gets saved and gives me back the local file path and I load that into the WebView. To provide the correct local path, we will need some DependencyService code, xamarin forms download pdf. For iOS there is one thing we need to add.
This can be done easily by implementing this code on the iOS project:, xamarin forms download pdf. To overcome this there are several routes to take. I have chosen to incorporate the pdf. There even is a mobile optimized view incorporated. The first thing we need to do is download the pdf. Make sure the build action for all files is set to AndroidAsset. Have a look at the screenshot below for my project structure. It actually looks very similar to the iOS code, but the difference is that variables which retrieve xamarin forms download pdf names produce different values on each platform.
That is the main reason why we need a implementation on each platform we want to do this. Now with this in place, the rest is basically the same idea.
If you refer back to the pdfjsPage. The URL will look more like:. With the knowledge you have now, you will recognize that we actually first load the pdf.
A small update on this. After some investigation, I noticed this error in the console output:. So, apparently, Android has upped their game in the cross origin policy area. I found out that there are some extra settings available in the Android WebView that will allow you to circumvent this. I whipped up this custom renderer for it.
As you can see there are a couple of settings that xamarin forms download pdf can set to true to allow the loading of local files. The updated working sample is on the GitHub repo! At the same time I got a question in the form of an issue on GitHub, asking how to open PDF files locally from xamarin forms download pdf resources. Shared In the shared code I have a very simple page which shows a WebView. The Italian friend. Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email.
