  2. I confused when url load, firstly its download the pdf then view.
  3. if its download firstly then what permission i want for low and high version of android phone.
  4. I want to when pdf download for view its not save in phone by default, i want to set a button if they want to save then its save.

Use the google pdf viewer in a webview for viewing pdfs by url.

There are several extensions available for viewing local pdfs.

If downloading and saving the pdf, then by default it will be saved to your ASD, where your app has read/write permissions.
