WebView cannot display PDF documents in Android.

You can handle the pdf to either download it and then open a 3rd party app as shown here.

Or you can also use Google Drive viewer.

String myPdfUrl = "http://example.com/awesome.pdf";
String url = "http://docs.google.com/gview?embedded=true&url=" + myPdfUrl;
Log.i(TAG, "Opening PDF: " + url);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true); 
webView.loadUrl(url);
