Here is the code which i was using... here i m creating one file, writing one Teststring to it.. and again reading the same...

------------------------------------------------------ public class FileRead_Activity extends Activity { private static final String TESTSTRING = "Tag Bhushan String" ; Context ctx;

/** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) { super.onCreate(icicle); setContentView(R.layout.main); try { FileOutputStream fOut = openFileOutput("samplefile.txt",MODE_WORLD_READABLE); OutputStreamWriter osw = new OutputStreamWriter(fOut);

osw.write(TESTSTRING); osw.flush(); osw.close(); } catch (FileNotFoundException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } try {

FileInputStream fin = openFileInput("samplefile.txt "); InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(fin); int fileSize = fin.available(); char[] inputBuffer = new char[fileSize]; isr.read(inputBuffer);

// Transform the chars to a String String readString = new String(inputBuffer);

String []str = readString.split(" ");

NotificationManager nm = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

nm.notifyWithText(0,str[0], NotificationManager.LENGTH_SHORT, null);

} catch (FileNotFoundException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); }

-------------------------------------------------- but i want to read from a file which is present on our machine(eg. pdf file) please suggest if you can...... Thanks. }
