LESS Viewer for Android - Preview LESS Stylesheets via API

LESS stylesheets extend CSS with variables, nesting and mixins, and they only become browser-ready styles after compilation. Until then a .less file is source code, and Android provides no built-in way to read it.

GroupDocs.Viewer Cloud renders LESS sources on the server and returns readable HTML, PDF, PNG or JPG pages, so an Android app can display a stylesheet as soon as it arrives. Formatting stays intact, and nothing has to be compiled or installed on the device.

Front-end teams use this for review on a phone or tablet, for sharing a stylesheet with someone who has no development tools, and for keeping the source of a design system as a fixed PDF. The Java SDK for Android is distributed through Maven and Gradle with samples for the first request, and it carries the whole viewer feature set: page navigation, zoom, thumbnails, selected pages and password-protected files, across 180+ formats.

Try a stylesheet in the free online GroupDocs.Viewer app, and explore the REST API in the API Explorer under a free trial.
