How to save or open a pdf file in pdf Viewer from response titanium - titanium

Question

I want to open pdf file on click.
I tried below code but it didn't help me. It is giving error could not read file
var xhr = Ti.Network.createHTTPClient({
onload : function(e) {
var f = Ti.Filesystem.getFile(Ti.Filesystem.applicationDataDirectory, 'file.pdf');
Ti.API.info('file == ' + f);
Ti.API.info('response = ' + this.responseData);
Ti.API.info('response = ' + JSON.stringify(this.responseData));
f.write(this.responseData);
Ti.API.info('write file == ' + f.write(this.responseData));
Ti.API.info('filepath == ' + f.nativePath);
Ti.API.info('get filepath == ' + f.getNativePath());
Ti.Android.currentActivity.startActivity(Ti.Android.createIntent({
action : Ti.Android.ACTION_VIEW,
type : 'application/pdf',
data : f.nativePath
}));
},
onerror : function(e) {
Alloy.Globals.loading.hide();
alert("Cannot retrieve PDF form web site");
},
timeout : 5000
});
xhr.open('GET', "https://www.mbta.com/uploadedfiles/Documents/Schedules_and_Maps/Rapid%20Transit%20w%20Key%20Bus.pdf");
xhr.send();
But I am getting Error as The document path is not valid.
I tried different way also using webview still not getting pdf on my app.
var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
backgroundColor : '#fff'
});
var pdfViewer = Ti.UI.createWebView({
url : "http://lkn.ccomsys.com/assets/media/datafiles/gov/vvvv_Shehnai_Order1.pdf",
width : Titanium.UI.SIZE,
height : Titanium.UI.SIZE
});
Ti.API.info('pdfviewer == ' + JSON.stringify(pdfViewer));
win.add(pdfViewer);
win.open();
Thanks in advance.

I sorted this out
Step 1 : Created directory and file.
Step 2 : Write response to created file.
Step 3 : Open pdf with android intent.
Below is the complete code
var xhr = Ti.Network.createHTTPClient({
onload : function(e) {
Alloy.Globals.loading.hide();
var Settings = Titanium.Filesystem.getFile(Titanium.Filesystem.tempDirectory, 'Settings');
Ti.API.info("Created Settings: " + Settings.createDirectory());
Ti.API.info('Settings ' + Settings);
var newFile = Titanium.Filesystem.getFile(Settings.nativePath, 'Setting.pdf');
Ti.API.info('new file == ' + newFile);
if (newFile.exists() === false) {
// you don't need to do this, but you could...
newFile.write(this.responseData);
}
Ti.API.info('response = ' + this.responseData);
Ti.API.info('response = ' + JSON.stringify(this.responseData));
if (newFile.exists()) {
newFile.write(this.responseData);
Ti.API.info('newfile: ' + newFile.read());
}
Ti.Android.currentActivity.startActivity(Ti.Android.createIntent({
action : Ti.Android.ACTION_VIEW,
type : 'application/pdf',
data : newFile.nativePath
}));
},
onerror : function(e) {
Alloy.Globals.loading.hide();
alert("Cannot retrieve PDF form web site");
},
timeout : 5000
});
xhr.open('GET', "https://www.mbta.com/uploadedfiles/Documents/Schedules_and_Maps/Rapid%20Transit%20w%20Key%20Bus.pdf");
xhr.send();
