Limitations of the native Android viewer
Current Android viewer limitations:
Android 4.0.3 and higher only (no plans to support earlier versions).
The viewer prefers portrait over landscape (the library is always shown in portrait, and dual-orientation folios open as portrait and cannot
be rotated to display landscape layout).
When replacing an existing app, the previous app settings and downloads are not preserved.
Analytics don’t have full overlay coverage.
No support for in-app web views (hyperlinks open the external browser).
No support for linking to PDF files in HTMLResources.zip.
All hyperlinks open in the external browser, not the in-app browser.
No support for custom stores or custom navigation icons (slots).
No HTML article support.
No support for right-edge binding, hot zones, or sections.
Pages for PDF articles are not yet pre-loaded into memory.
Overlays not yet supported: pan and zoom, audio, and panorama (no plans to support panoramas).
Vector-based scrollable frames are not yet supported.
Swiping in image sequences is not yet supported.
Crossfades in slideshows do not always work cleanly.
Auto-rotation of landscape videos in portrait-only folios is not supported.
Specifying both SD and HD overlay assets in multi-rendition articles is not supported.
YouTube videos embedded in Web Content overlays cannot be displayed full-screen.
Nested overlays are not yet fully supported.
