                   startActivity(intent);



            }

            }catch(JSONException e2)
            {  e2.printStackTrace();
                Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "No User Found", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }catch (ParseException e1){
                e1.printStackTrace();
            } 
 }


}

This is my code where I'm storing fetched filepath from server database I filetype variable and then processing it..But I couldn't get my expected output i.e. the file itself..the code is throwing Exception and I get

no android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=file:///http:/127.0.0.1/45_Hindi Theme 1 & 2 (Class-IX).pdf typ=application/pdf }

please help me to fix this.

Answer 1

U need to move that code into the AsyncTask class, because u cannot invoke internet connection on main thread.

so move all this code to some function, like getPdf();

and paste this

        new AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void>(){


        @Override
        protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
            getPdf();
            return null;
        }
    }.execute();

and u also need internet permission in your AndroidManifest.xml file

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

Answer 2

This errors is simple that your device dont have any application that respond to the intent.

You should handle the Exception and tell the user that he doenst have any PDF reader on the device.
