[mono-android] View PDF file in App

[Daniele Salvatore Albano]

Consider that in Android, if you don't need that the view pdf feature
is part of your software, you can broadcast an intent so a registered
app will start and show the pdf.

Naturally when the final user will go back, your last activity will be shown.

Specifically, you can try an ACTION_VIEW intent with a uri pointing to
the file (just be sure that the file is world readable putting it on
sd or using MODE_WORLD_READABLE) and application/pdf as mime type.
You can try to force the package setting it to com.adobe.reader, but
if adobe reader isn't installed it will file.
