Because Android WebViewdoes not support PDF functionality . And WebViewcan not display PDF files.

The URL you posted in your comments displayed the pdf file in your own web browser, which is why it uses Google Docs .

pdf -, Google Docs URL- pdf, .

Update: pdf , -.

WebView webview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true); 
String pdf = "http://www.xxxx.com/xxxx/xxxx.pdf";
webview.loadUrl("http://docs.google.com/gview?embedded=true&url=" + pdf);
