if you want to open PDF from assert within the app:

  private void displayFromAsset(String assetFileName) {//In onCreate()method call this method
    pdfFileName = assetFileName;
     pdfView.fromAsset(MANUAL_FILE)// file name
            .defaultPage(pageNumber)
            .enableSwipe(true)
            .swipeHorizontal(false)
            .onPageChange(this)
            .enableAnnotationRendering(true)
            .onLoad(this)
            .scrollHandle(new DefaultScrollHandle(this))
            .load();
}


@Override
public void onPageChanged(int page, int pageCount) {
    pageNumber = page;
    setTitle(String.format("%s %s / %s", pdfFileName, page + 1, pageCount));
}


public void loadComplete(int nbPages) {
printBookmarksTree(pdfView.getTableOfContents(), "-");

}

public void printBookmarksTree(List<PdfDocument.Bookmark> tree, String sep) {
    for (PdfDocument.Bookmark b : tree) {

        Log.e(TAG, String.format("%s %s, p %d", sep, b.getTitle(), b.getPageIdx()));

        if (b.hasChildren()) {
            printBookmarksTree(b.getChildren(), sep + "-");
        }
    }

within XML Layout Add this:

 <com.github.barteksc.pdfviewer.PDFView
    android:id="@+id/pdfView"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

Add the library in gradle implementation 'com.github.barteksc:android-pdf-viewer:2.8.2'
