PhoneGap Android app not displaying pdf data
I have a PhoneGap app for Android which I am trying to run in the Android emulator. The app has a simple html page which has a button. On click, the button calls a RESTful webservice using javascript XMLHttpRequest and the service returns back base 64 encoded data for a pdf. Then from the javascript function, I try to load the pdf data in my html page in the app as below
document.location.href = 'data:application/pdf;base64,' + pdfData.childNodes[0].data;
But this does nothing. The data is returned correctly and I checked the logs for it. But the pdf is not displayed at all. Any idea what is causing the issue?

In Android you not show pdf file in Webview. Have some solution to view pdf file in Android:
Use google pdf view
mWebView.loadUrl("https://docs.google.com/gview?embedded=true&url="+LinkTo_pdfFile);
Download pdf file and view by pdf reader in device. Check this
(My solution) I parse pdf file to image and store onto server and i only download and view image directly.(It have bit complex, but you can view pdf, docx, xls,..). Example here
