Privacy Policies vs. Terms & Conditions

Depending on your website or mobile/desktop app, you’ll need either a Privacy Policy agreement and a Terms and Conditions (T&C) agreement, or both.

Each of these two legal agreements serves different purposes for both you (the company operating the website/mobile app) and your users.

So, what’s the difference between these two agreements?

In short:

• A Privacy Policy agreement is required by law if you collect or use any personal information from your users, e.g. email addresses, first and last names etc. The purpose of this agreement is to inform users about your collection and use of personal data of users.
• A Terms & Conditions (T&C) agreement sets forth terms, conditions, requirements, and clauses relating to the use of your website or mobile/desktop app, e.g. copyright protection, accounts termination in cases of abuses, and so on.

Hope! you have got some idea about Privacy Policies vs. Terms & Conditions.

View PDF In Android - Example

In this Example we will see how to view a pdf file through an android app. Here we will open the pdf file saved in the SD card with an application to view the pdf file like the Adobe Reader , Quick Office or any other application capable of reading pdf files.

In this application on tapping a button we check for the existence of the pdf file in the SD card. If the file exists we call the reader application via Intents. In the due course if the reader application is not found it is notified by catching the exception ActivityNotFoundException.

So lets start:

1.Create an Android Application Project with any Project Name and Package Name. Create an Activity and Layout file for the same like MainActivity & activity_main.

2.Design the screen for the activity with a button as below: 

activity_main.xml:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

02	xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

03	android:layout_width="fill_parent"

04	android:layout_height="fill_parent"

05	android:background="#FFFFFF"

06	android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"

07	android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"

08	android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"

09	android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"

10	tools:context=".Vibrator" >

11

12

<TextView

13	android:id="@+id/textView1"

14	android:layout_width="wrap_content"

15	android:layout_height="wrap_content"

16	android:layout_alignParentTop="true"

17	android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"

18	android:layout_marginTop="124dp"

19	android:text="Welcome to AndroidBite !!!"

20	android:textColor="@android:color/black"

21	android:textSize="20sp" />

22

23

<Button

24	android:id="@+id/bPressMe"

25	android:layout_width="wrap_content"

26	android:layout_height="wrap_content"

27	android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"

28	android:layout_centerVertical="true"

29	android:text="Press Me !!!" />

30

31	</RelativeLayout>

3.Now in the activity, we create a File instance and construct it using specified directory and name. Then we set the Uri from the file instance and start the intent Intent.ACTION_VIEW . This intents data is set with the uri and the MIME Type for pdf is set as application/pdf before calling the intent.

MainActivity.java:

import java.io.File;

02

03	import android.app.Activity;

04	import android.content.ActivityNotFoundException;

05	import android.content.Intent;

06	import android.net.Uri;

07	import android.os.Bundle;

08	import android.os.Environment;

09	import android.view.View;

10	import android.view.View.OnClickListener;

11	import android.widget.Button;

12	import android.widget.Toast;

13

14	public class MainActivity extends Activity {

15

16

@Override

17	public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

18	super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

19	setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

20

21	Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.bPressMe);

22

23	button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

24

@Override

25	public void onClick(View v) {

26

27	File pdfFile = new File(Environment

28	.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "Case Study.pdf");

29

30

try {

31	if (pdfFile.exists()) {

32	Uri path = Uri.fromFile(pdfFile);

33	Intent objIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);

34	objIntent.setDataAndType(path, "application/pdf");

35	objIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);

36	startActivity(objIntent);

37

} else {

38	Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "File NotFound",

39	Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

40

}

41	} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {

42	Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,

43	"No Viewer Application Found", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)

44

.show();

45	} catch (Exception e) {

46	e.printStackTrace();

47

}

48

}

49

});

50

51

}

52

53

}

4.Include the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission in the manifest file(permission for both reading and writing).

5.Run the application by right clicking the project Run As->Android Application. If everything goes well the output will be similar to the one below
