PDF Viewing Feature

[VitorVieiraZ]

This feature can be used to open PDF files using the user’s system default application viewer, and can open formats such as links, PDFs, Docx, etc.

1. In a form that allows multiline entries, add text to the "Form Layout" widgets. This can be done in the "Default Value" section, or within the "HtmlWidget" field.

2. To embed a PDF file in the project, use the following HTML format:

   • For the "Default Value" section, enter:
   • '<a href="project://dummy.pdf">Open File</a>' (include the HTML code inside single quotes).
   • For direct entry in the "HtmlWidget", use:
   • <a href="project://dummy.pdf">Open File</a> (able to enter the HTML code without quotes).

3. After synchronizing the project, check the app to ensure that the fields display the link reference correctly.

4. HTML Link	Invalid File

5. When clicking into the HTML button, the PDF file will be opened using the default application of the system.

6. Additional Note:

• In the case of a file inside a folder in the project directory, use the following format: <a href="project://files/sample.pdf">Open PDF File inside folder "files"</a> sample.pdf file inside 'files' folder
• In the case of a link use the following format:
• <a href="https://www.qgis.org/">Visit QGIS</a>

[tomasMizera]

Let's merge to master and then test from there

I just tried this feature on the APK from this ticket and I always get an error message, that the file does not exist. Can you please check it?

My project is tc05_forms_derived and there is a tab called Files

Tests successfully conducted. In the case of a file inside a folder in the project directory, use the following format:

<a href="project://files/sample.pdf">Open PDF File inside folder "files"</a>

sample.pdf file inside 'files' folder

@VitorVieiraZ I checked the project and I don't see a problem in the configuration. Do you see it? I tried it again and I was able to open TXT and DOCX files, but the PDF file was still unavailable. The configuration for it is '<a href="project://sample.pdf">Open PDF File</a>' and the sample.pdf file it is located in the root directory of the project. Am I doing something wrong?

Now it looks great! I didn't find any more problems.

[jozef-budac]

Unfortunately, the files in sub-directories stopped working

[tomasMizera]

@VitorVieiraZ please merge master branch here - it will upload the build to iOS then too :)

[tomasMizera]

@jozef-budac Can you please retest this PR? We are mainly interested in PDFs so if they work we can merge it and fix other file types later. This is the build to test it with: https://github.com/MerginMaps/mobile/actions/runs/9158230910?pr=3353

[jozef-budac]

Right now I can't install the package

[tomasMizera]

@jozef-budac you can now test it on iOS too :)

[tomasMizera]

I can confirm that the apk is now invalid @VitorVieiraZ

[tomasMizera]

It says Failure, intent tag may have at most one action

[tomasMizera]

After removing these two lines https://github.com/MerginMaps/mobile/blob/d3293dbe25074d9b0f19d6f3796bdb13e5f4ef5a/cmake_templates/AndroidManifest.xml.in#L110-L111

the code works as expected for me in the tc05_forms_derived

[jozef-budac]

PDF files are working now of both Android and iOS> The docx and xlsx are not working on Android. But if only PDF is mandatory, we can go with this to production

[tomasMizera]

For me all of them worked :)

[tomasMizera]

@jozef-budac do you have some app to open xls installed? If yes, we can debug then. Anyways,let's merge it as pdfs are working now :)

[jozef-budac]

@tomasMizera Yes I have programs to open such files. In some of the previous APKs I was able to open the files. I wrote a note "Now it looks great! I didn't find any more problems." But then it doesn't work anymore.
