I am trying to upload a pdf file that is referenced in my application that's 38,564 KB. The upload screen goes black after a while and numerous retrys have failed to upload the file. Is there an upload file limit? Thanks Anthony

If its self hosted you can upload the PDF via FTP to the correct location

You need to actually upload it. Just type the name of the file, like xpto.pdf and make sure you copy it to you project localy, and it will work.

You could do that; but bare in mind your App size will be greatly increased and if its over a certain amount (is it 50mb ??) it would need to be downloaded onto the device over WiFi

I think ajaxon98 is referring to uploading the file to the control panel, not linking the app to a url with a pdf. If this is the case, the final app size will always be the same whether you upload it or not, you'll always have to add it to the project.

...yes, I was talking about the control panel...sorry I was not more clear on this point. I expect to have more than 10 documents of this approximate size. What is the best approach in providing these documents for the app and at the same time optimizing the size of the installed app? Thanks. Anthony

BTY....providing a url link instead of a file location returned an ambiguous error....I have associated pdf's with adobe's free reader. Anthony

Keep in mind that the BT File Manager just provides you a place to store some of the media that you use in your app. Aside being able to link via URL that media, it won't actually include the file in your app. For stuff that I'm hosting remotely, I use a link at DropBox or my web server. Even better is to include it in the actual app, but that does affect the overall file size, which is something to keep in mind. If you are using the PDF Plugin, and provide a link to the PDF file, it should result in a prompt to the user asking which application on their device they'd like to use to read the file. They will need some sort of PDF reader on their device (for Android). iOS does this natively. Mark

All errors are logged in LogCat...copy and paste what you see at the time you try to load the file, and we'll take a look!

Where is logcat? Also, I am not self hosted... Thanks Anthony

LogCat is the debug pane in Eclipse. Here's a document that tells you all about debugging: http://www.buzztouch.com/files/howtos/Problem_Reporting_and_Basic_Debug_v1.0.pdf When you run your app in Eclipse (either in the emulator or on a real device connected to your computer), you'll see tons of debug output there.
