This inspired me to come up with a hybrid solution for reading that checks if a PDF reader app is installed and does the follwing:

Note- For Publish on play store App , choose “Start in locked mode” in firebase than proceed the work.

Note- For No publish app on play store only for texting purpose than choose “Start in Test mode ” in firebase than proceed the work.

If a reader is installed, download the PDF file to the device and start a PDF reader app
If no reader is installed, ask the user if he wants to view the PDF file online through Google Drive
