Does not load on android

[rbenjamint]

The pdf viewer does not load the pdf on android devices, the problem is also at the demo page.
Can't find the problem

The demo page works perfectly fine on my Nexus 4 with the latest Firefox version. We will need more information in order to look into this: browser name and version, Android version, phone/tablet type, warnings/errors in the console, etc. Closing as invalid for now, but we can reopen this if more information is provided.

Im using Genymotion, a customer uses a Samsung Note 3.
How can I get the best information for helping me with this problem?

We would at least need to know which Android version is running on the devices. Are you using Firefox or another browser app?

android 4.2.2 im using the standard browser on android

I'm seeing the same problem in the native browser in Android 4.1 (verified on Asus tablet running 4.1.2 and Nexus 7 on 4.1.0).

Seems to be a problem with setting the xhr.ResponseType to an unsupported value in that version of WebKit at line 1690 in pdf.worker.js, which is throwing a DOM Exception 12 Syntax Error

xhr.responseType = 'moz-chunked-arraybuffer';

Commenting out that line got it working for me. Can we get this addressed and updated in the pdfjs-dist Bower distribution? I really do not want to be maintaining a custom version of a 1MB javascript file in my project.

Let's add try/catch around this line https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/blob/master/src/core/network.js#L119 with comment Some legacy browsers might throw an exception. Marking as starter bug.

Once fixed, it will be automatically updated at pdfjs-dist.

Closing as fixed by PR #5448.
