By having the fragment implement a View that can display PDFs instead of just having a TextView.

I don't understand what starting an intent/activity to view a PDF in another app has to do with fragments showing PDFs in your own app. Please clarify.

Obviously you need a View that can display PDFs, which is something you have asked about before. Have you found such a View? If not, this isn't going to work.

If the display happens in a separate app then what is the purpose of the fragments in your app (which will not be displaying anything)? Either the View is part of your app, or it's part of some other app - not both.

What does "call" mean? How is "it" unable to do that? What is "it"? You should constantly remind yourself that we do not know what happens in your code, nor, actually, what you are now attempting to do.

If you're still somehow under the impression that you can get some other app to display something as part of your app, then I have already pointed out that that is simply not possible. Any further attempts in this direction are a waste of time.

If you want to adapt your code that uses an intent to start another app to somehow work differently, then you need to tell us in detail how you want it to work differently.

There isn't anything else I can contribute but saying once more (for the last time): you need a View that can display PDFs. If you have that, it makes sense to proceed, but otherwise it's futile.

"PdfViewerActivity" sounds promising in that regard. I suggest you dig into the documentation and source code of that library to see what it does to display PDFs. Maybe you're able to extract code for a PDF View from it. Keep in mind that code is licensed under the LGPL, which has implications on how you need to license your app if you decide to distribute it.
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
