> A tiny, open source, fully offline file viewer for Android that opens PDF, Word,
Perhaps correct Word to DOCX. Word is not just DOCX and DOCX is not just Word. This user needs DOC viewing and would be disappointed having installed this app.
I wish you every success with this.
This is interesting. I thought granting internet access to apps is not avoidable on Android. When an app does not request internet, is it really guaranteed that it cannot talk to the outside world? Or is it having other avenues like opening a browser or some other component with a custom url or something? Update: I just asked Gemini, and it does not look good: An Android app without the INTERNET permission is not gua…

This can be mitigated by using an app like URLCheck [1], which you set as your default browser, and it shows and lets you edit the URL being opened before handing it off to your real browser. It also has neat features like choosing to open in incognito (if you use Firefox) and automatically removing tracking parameters.

> If two apps from the same developer share a User ID (sharedUserId), they run in the same process and share all permissions Good grief. What a huge vulnerability. Is there some benefit that justifies this?
You need something like that for plugin / extension like system.

How is accessibility? Do PDFs work with screenreaders for example?
