Here i am posting my code of selecting PDF from file manager. i need to get file path of selected PDF. how can i get it?
.html
<input type="file" (change)="selectPDF($event)" class="file-input upload-items" name='company_pdf' style="opacity: 0"
id="company_pdf" #fileInp>
.ts
selectPDF(fileInput: any) {
if (fileInput.target.files[0].type == 'application/pdf') {
console.log(fileInput.target.files)
this.PDFfiles.push(fileInput.target.files[0]);
if (this.PDFfiles.length > 4) {
this.disablePdfUplaod = true;
}
//this.PDFfile = fileInput.target.files[0];
} else {
this.shared.showToast('Please select PDF')
}
}
You can try Ionic FileOpener
this.fileOpener
.open(filePath, fileExtension)
.then(() => {
return true
});
the best approach would be Document Viewer
Document Viewer
This plugin offers a slim API to view PDF files which are either stored in the apps assets folder (/www/*) or in any other file system directory available via the cordova file plugin.
$ ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-document-viewer
$ npm install --save @ionic-native/document-viewer
import { DocumentViewer } from '@ionic-native/document-viewer';
constructor(private document: DocumentViewer) { }
const options: DocumentViewerOptions = {
title: 'My PDF'
}
this.document.viewDocument('assets/myFile.pdf', 'application/pdf', options)
if u are choosing from file manager do some like this and open the pdf from my other answer
this.fileChooser.open()
.then(
uri => {
this.filePath.resolveNativePath(uri)
.then(file => {
this.fileDir = file;
this.fileName = file.substring(file.lastIndexOf("/") + 1);
// open the pdf
})
.catch(err => console.log(err));
}
)
.catch(error => {
this.showError(error);
});
Here you can find both android and iOS platform answer. How to pick pdf document and view that document.
.html
<input (click)="openFile()" class="file-input upload-items" name='company_pdf' style="opacity: 0"
id="company_pdf" >
.ts
openFile() {
if (this.platform.is('android')) {
this.fileChooser.open()
.then(
uri => {
this.filePath.resolveNativePath(uri)
.then(url => {
console.log(url)
// url is path of selected file
var fileName = url.substring(url.lastIndexOf("/") + 1)
console.log(fileName)
// fileName is selected file name
})
.catch(err => console.log(err));
}
)
.catch(error => {
console.log(error)
});
} else {
this.docPicker.getFile('pdf')
.then(uri => {
console.log(uri)
var fileName = uri.substring(uri.lastIndexOf("/") + 1)
})
.catch(e => console.log(e));
}
}
Hope it will helps you.
