Android pdf viewer - ActivityNotFoundException : No Activity found to handle Intent

Question

I want to open pdf file from url, so I used this code:

Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
browserIntent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(string), "application/pdf");
startActivity(browserIntent);

It's worked when the protocol is http, but not working if the protocol is https, I got error ActivityNotFoundException, any idea to fix this?

ya it can't works because you should have to add the SSL certificate for HTTPS secure connection. that's why it will not work on HTTPS. — Shubham Sejpal, Sep 19 '17 at 10:13

Apparently, your device does not have a PDF viewer that supports downloading directly from https URLs.

any idea to fix this?

Download the PDF yourself (e.g., using OkHttp3 or HttpUrlConnection). Then, try opening a PDF viewer on the downloaded PDF (e.g., using FileProvider to serve it locally via a content Uri).
