i new to android application developemnt. I am trying to open the pdf file stored in sd card.I used this code snippet but this opens the viewer in the device but not the file given in the path. Any help appreciated.

    Intent intent = new  Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,Uri.parse("Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath()+/sample.pdf"));
    intent.setType("application/pdf");
    intent.setPackage("com.adobe.reader"); selects the adobe reader directly 
    PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
    List<ResolveInfo> activities = pm.queryIntentActivities(intent,0);
    if (activities.size() >= 0) 
            {
    startActivity(intent);


    } else {
    Toast.makeText(this, "No Application Available to View PDF",

        Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

you can read pdf file from sdcard by giving the path and try the following.

File pdfFile = new File(path); 
if(pdfFile.exists()) 
{

    Uri path = Uri.fromFile(pdfFile); 
    Intent pdfIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
    pdfIntent.setDataAndType(path, "application/pdf");
    pdfIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
    try
    {
        startActivity(pdfIntent);
    }
    catch(ActivityNotFoundException e)
    {
        Toast.makeText(uractivity.this, resource.getString(R.string.noapplicationpdf), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); 
    }
}

You can try something like

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
File file = new File(filename);
intent.setDataAndType( Uri.fromFile( file ), "application/pdf" );
startActivity(intent);

or

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setPackage("com.adobe.reader");
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(file), "application/pdf");
startActivity(intent);
