title: Open a PDF from URL
body: <p>I am a novice at android development. I have to show a PDF from a URL.</p>
  
  <p>This is my current code but I'm not able to show the PDF file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class TestActivity extends Activity 
  {
  
      public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
      {
          super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
          setContentView(R.layout.main);
  
          System.setProperty("http.proxyHost","192.168.0.2");
          System.setProperty("http.proxyPort","8080");
  
          showPdf();
      }    
  
      private void showPdf() 
      {
          WebView webview = new WebView(this); 
          setContentView(webview); 
          webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true); 
          Log.v("....hello....","");
          webview.loadUrl("http://docs.google.com/gview?embedded=true&amp;url=http://myurl.com/demo.pdf");
