Missing space after 'if' keyword. Kotlin style guide recommends a space between control flow keywords and opening parentheses.

Suggested change

The entire test file has been commented out rather than deleted or properly updated. Commented-out test code reduces maintainability and may cause confusion. Consider either updating the tests to work with the new implementation or removing the file entirely.

[nitpick] The teacher and parent modules have been commented out, which may indicate incomplete work or temporary changes that should not be in a release. If these modules are intentionally excluded from this release, consider documenting why in the PR description.

Suggested change

/* Top-level project modules */

// The teacher and parent modules are intentionally excluded from this release.

// If you need to include them, uncomment their respective lines and ensure they are properly configured.

+            Toast.makeText(context, "No PDF viewer found", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()


The error message 'No PDF viewer found' is hardcoded and not localized. This should use a string resource for proper internationalization support, especially since other strings in the PR are marked as translatable.

Not an addition copied from existing code, will update it to string in next build

already change is part of #28
