I am wondering if we can, or anyone has built a pdf file reader for android.
I have searched through posts and can not see anything.
I want to use this for reading music score on piano.
What I want to do is build in android an app that can pick a pdf file, Then scan thought page by page.
Maybe have two buttons to skip ahead and back. Would be nice to have blue tooth to use a pedal to do the skipping.
I can build this in HMG but computers are to expensive and big for piano music rest.

Hi Franco, I'm sending you a link that could be useful for your case:
https://www.bilug.it/argo/news-1/news/k ... lator-354/
it's in Italian and I think it was really born to a similar case.
It's about hardware, but your words PDF, music and pedals reminded me of this interesting project born from a member of the Minigui Extended team and is adaptable to every board that uses a USB keyboard, so I think it also works with an android tablet.
I managed to build one and it's perfect for my notebook, now I play and change pages even with my hands (and feet) free!
Although a little OT let me know if I've been of any help.
Best Regards

I can create a program in hmg to view a pdf.

This has free lite app or 20.00 for purchase which I did because we know what it takes to Write software.
I used for android but it says its good for ipad and windows.
