Error while updating property 'src' of a view managed by: RCTPDFViewAndroid

[tomvo]

Ok, moving one step forward at a time. Now getting this error.

I have a test.pdf in the apps root.

From logcat:

@tomvo E/unknown:ViewManager( 3196): Caused by: com.joanzapata.pdfview.exception.FileNotFoundException: /test.pdfdoes not exist. Sorry! The current version, only support absolute path!

[tomvo]

Ah, got it! Any clue on how to absolutely reference to a file in a folder inside the react-native app?

[tomvo]

Found all the necessary info, thanks a lot!

@tomvo - can you share what you learned?

[tomvo]

@oliversisson long time ago! I also built in ionic2. I just copy pasted some snippets into a gist here, maybe it's helpful to you: https://gist.github.com/tomvo/9e79f52d05856ba3b8fc276b6d7ecc5e
