            @Override
            public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
                uploadFiles uploadFiles = uploadDOCS.get(position);

                //Intent intent = new Intent(ViewFiles.this, ViewPdfFiles.class);
                Intent intent = new Intent();
                intent.setType(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
                intent.setData(Uri.parse(uploadFiles.getUrl()));
                startActivity(intent);
            }
        });
    }

    //View files which in databse
    private void viewAllFiles() {

        databaseReference = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("HNDIT").child("1st Year 2nd Sem").child("OOP");
        databaseReference.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
            @Override
            public void onDataChange(@NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {

                for (DataSnapshot postSnapshot: dataSnapshot.getChildren()){

                    uploadFiles uploadFiles = postSnapshot.getValue(com.example.lms.fileupload.uploadFiles.class);
                    uploadDOCS.add(uploadFiles);
                }

                String[] uploads = new String[uploadDOCS.size()];

                for (int i=0; i < uploads.length; i++){
                    uploads[i] = uploadDOCS.get(i).getName();

                }
                ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(getApplicationContext(),android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,uploads){
                    @NonNull
                    @Override
                    public View getView(int position, @Nullable View convertView, @NonNull ViewGroup parent) {
                        View view = super.getView(position, convertView, parent);
                        TextView myText = (TextView) view.findViewById(android.R.id.text1);
                        myText.setTextColor(Color.BLACK);

                        return view;

                };
                myViewFiles.setAdapter(adapter);
            }

            @Override

            }
        });

    }
}

Answer 1

When I click the file which I retrieve from database it will simply start downloading.

Intent.ACTION_VIEW will try to display the pdf file. It requests the system to look for some Activity that is able to open and view this file. That's why it will start downloading. This should be done only if you do not have special Activity in your own app that is capable of opening the file.
Since, in this case, fortunately you do have your own capable Activity so, you should rather launch that Activity with uri of the pdf file as :

Intent intent = new Intent(ViewFiles.this, ViewPdfFiles.class);
//intent.setType(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.putExtra("url", uploadFiles.getUrl());
startActivity(intent);
