Remove sign in button in google docs webview in android

Question

I am showing PDF files by using google docs in WebView in android. How to remove or hide "Sign In" button? I have attached screenshot below. Thanks in advance.

webview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);
webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webview.loadUrl("https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://www.ex.com/terms.pdf");
webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return false;
}
});

Answer 1

Add the embedded=true parameter.

webview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);
webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webview.loadUrl("https://docs.google.com/viewer?embedded=true&url=https://orimi.com/pdf-test.pdf");
webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
    @Override
    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
        view.loadUrl(url);
        return false;
    }
});

Try this

I have tried to many answers but did not get good answer. Finally got the solution with adding few code in when loading the pdf into the webview .

 final WebView wv_webview= (WebView) view.findViewById(R.id.wv_webview);;
    wv_webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
    wv_webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
        @Override
        public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
            super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon);
            wv_webview.loadUrl("javascript:(function() { " +
                    "document.querySelector('[role=\"toolbar\"]').remove();})()");
        }
        @Override
        public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
            super.onPageFinished(view, url);
            wv_webview.loadUrl("javascript:(function() { " +
                    "document.querySelector('[role=\"toolbar\"]').remove();})()");
        }
    });
    String your_pdf_link="https://www.antennahouse.com/XSLsample/pdf/sample-link_1.pdf";
    wv_webview.loadUrl("https://docs.google.com/viewer?embedded=true&url=" + your_pdf_link);

Note:- It will show only few milliseconds when pdf loads into webview

Output:-

webview.loadUrl("javascript:(function() { " +
                    "document.getElementsByClassName('drive-viewer-toolstrip')[0].style.visibility='hidden'; })()");
