How to open pdf files in 3rd party app via React Native?

Question

I don't want to use RN libraries to create a pdf viewer, I'd like to click on a file icon and be asked in which installed application would I like to open the file.

Is there any library that allows me that?

Answer 1

I have used rn-fetch-blob in my project. After that, it's easy as doing;

Android

const android = RNFetchBlob.android;
android.actionViewIntent(path, 'application/pdf');

iOS

RNFetchBlob.ios.openDocument(path);
