I am able to create pdf in my ionic app and if I run the app in chrome it opens perfectly. However if I install my app on the android device it doesn't open. Below is my code. Can someone please help me if I have to do something extra to open it on device. I want to open it with default pdf application on device.
pdfMake.createPdf(dd).open();
Ok. After banging my head on wall for 3 days I finally found the solution and sharing here so that other people who are facing this issue can get help. I am creating pdf and saving it using cordova file plugin. After successful save I am opening it in default application using cordova file opener plugin. Below is my code.
pdfMake.createPdf(YOUR_DEFINITION_HERE).getBlob(buffer => {
this.file.resolveDirectoryUrl(this.file.externalRootDirectory)
.then(dirEntry => {
this.file.getFile(dirEntry, 'test1.pdf', { create: true })
.then(fileEntry => {
fileEntry.createWriter(writer => {
writer.onwrite = () => {
this.fileOpener.open(fileEntry.toURL(), 'application/pdf')
.then(res => { })
.catch(err => {
const alert = this.alertCtrl.create({ message:
err.message, buttons: ['Ok'] });
alert.present();
});
}
writer.write(buffer);
})
})
.catch(err => {
const alert = this.alertCtrl.create({ message: err, buttons: ['Ok'] });
alert.present();
});
})
.catch(err => {
const alert = this.alertCtrl.create({ message: err, buttons: ['Ok']
});
alert.present();
});
});
