react-native-pdf-view

React Native PDF View (cross-platform support)

Breaking change

React native 0.19 changed the ReactProps class which led to problems with updating native view properties (see https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/5649). These errors are corrected in react-native-pdf-view version 0.2.0. Use version 0.2.* for react native >=0.19 and for earlier react native versions use version 0.1.3.

Installation

npm i react-native-pdf-view --save

• In android/setting.gradle

...
include ':PDFView'
project(':PDFView').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-pdf-view/android')

• In android/app/build.gradle

...
dependencies {
    ...
    compile project(':PDFView')
}

• register module (in MainActivity.java)

On newer versions of React Native (0.18+):

import com.keyee.pdfview.PDFView;  // <--- import 
 
public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity {
  ......
    @Override
    protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
      return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
        new PDFView(), // <------ add here 
        new MainReactPackage());
    }
}

On older versions of React Native:

import com.keyee.pdfview.PDFView;  // <--- import 
 
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements DefaultHardwareBackBtnHandler {
  ......
 
  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    mReactRootView = new ReactRootView(this);
 
    mReactInstanceManager = ReactInstanceManager.builder()
      .setApplication(getApplication())
      .setBundleAssetName("index.android.bundle")
      .setJSMainModuleName("index.android")
      .addPackage(new MainReactPackage())
      .addPackage(new PDFView())              // <------ add here 
      .setUseDeveloperSupport(BuildConfig.DEBUG)
      .setInitialLifecycleState(LifecycleState.RESUMED)
      .build();
 
    mReactRootView.startReactApplication(mReactInstanceManager, "ExampleRN", null);
 
    setContentView(mReactRootView);
  }
 
  ......
 
}

Usage

First, require it from your app's JavaScript files with:

import PDFView from 'react-native-pdf-view';

Example

'use strict';
 
import React,{
    Component
} from 'react';
 
import {
    StyleSheet,
    View
} from 'react-native';
 
import PDFView from 'react-native-pdf-view';
 
export default class PDF extends Component {
    constructor(props) {
        super(props);
    }
 
    render(){
      <PDFView ref={(pdf)=>{this.pdfView = pdf;}}
                         src={"sdcard/pdffile.pdf"}
                         onLoadComplete = {(pageCount)=>{
                            this.pdfView.setNativeProps({
                                zoom: 1.5
                            });
                         }}
                         style={styles.pdf}/>
    }
}
var styles = StyleSheet.create({
    pdf: {
        flex:1
    }
});
