2 Android PdfRendererBasic Sample (Kotlin)
3 ========================================
4
5 This sample demonstrates how to display PDF document on screen using
6 the PdfRenderer introduced in Android 5.0 Lollipop.

8 Introduction
9 ------------
10
11 You can now render PDF document pages into bitmap images for printing by using
12 the new [PdfRenderer][1] class. You must specify a [ParcelFileDescriptor][2]
13 that is seekable (that is, the content can be randomly accessed) on which the
14 system writes the the printable content. Your app can obtain a page for
15 rendering with [openPage()][3], then call [render()][4] to turn the opened
16 [PdfRenderer.Page][5] into a bitmap.
17
18 This sample loads the PDF from assets. Contents of assets are compressed by
19 default, and the PdfRenderer class cannot open it. In this sample, we work
20 around this by copying the file into the cache directory.
