Android PDFView is a Java library providing a fast PDFView component for Android apps with animations, gestures, and zoom support, based on VuDroid for PDF decoding. The project is deprecated and no longer maintained, with AndroidPdfViewer (Pdfium-based) recommended as a replacement.
Use cases
- display pdf files inside an android app
- render pdf pages with swipe and zoom gestures
- load a pdf from assets in android
- show specific pages of a pdf in order
- draw overlays on top of pdf pages
When to choose
- maintaining a legacy Android app already using this library
- you need a simple GPL-3.0-compatible PDF view and accept unmaintained code
When to avoid
- starting a new Android project needing PDF viewing
- you need an actively maintained or Apache-licensed solution
- you need modern Android API support
