open pdf using jquery mobile

Question

How to open a PDF using jQuery mobile. I'm using worklight 6.o and the adapter returns the content of PDF, var content = 'some PDF content' -- which i will get from the apadapter contentType = 'PDF' -- which i will get from the adapter. I have content and contentType, based on this, I need to open the PDF, if the contentType is PDF or word,if the contentType is msword.

function onSuccessDownloadAdapter (results) {
          try {
              if(results.invocationResult.isSuccessful){
              if(results.invocationResult.stat == "ok"){
                  var content = results.invocationResult.content;
                  var contentType = results.invocationResult.contentType;
                 var embed = '<embed src=data:'+contentType+';base64,'+content+'>';
                     $("#dataContent").append(embed);
              }
              else{
                  alert("Stat fail:"+message);
                  WL.Logger.debug("Stat fail:"+message);    
              }
              }
              else{
                  alert("No connection");
                  WL.Logger.debug("downlaodAdapter onSuccess:: noConnection");  

              }  
              busyInd.hide();
          } catch (e) {
              busyInd.hide();
            displayError(e.toString());
          }

}

This is working in browser, but not in mobile.

And add more how; how do you get the file and how do you want to view the file. — Idan Adar, Jan 16 '14 at 08:40

Android's WebView does not allow embedding PDF or Word documents by default.

See: Phonegap InAppBrowser display pdf 2.7.0

Please take a look at: https://github.com/markeeftb/FileOpener

Plugin opens external application which handles the preview of the document.
