Intent pdfIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
pdfIntent.setDataAndType(path , "application/pdf");

But this code shows an error Error:Error: try is not a valid resource name (reserved Java keyword) Can anyone help me.

Answer 1

Here is the error

File file = new File(R.raw.try);

Rename your file try.pdf to anything else (except whats mentioned here https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/_keywords.html). You can't use a Java-reserved keyword, which try is.
