Does anyone know of an Android tablet app that with one click would pull up a PDF, say a chord-sheet made from BIAB file, and also kick off a backing track, say audio rendered from BIAB?

It is primarily for lyrics of songs with chords, but it can also display PDF and link with them, for example, MP3

Take a look at OpenSongApp.
I have been using this for about 3-4 years, it's probably the best out there for Android.
I will handle PDF files but I use TXT files for more versatility.
A bit of a learning curve required, but worth a look, even better, it's free!

Also if you have Bar Lyrics you need to adjust the size and color for the video:

Pipeline - thanks! Converting BIAB files to AVI then to MP4 (actually ".m4v") works great.

I've been using BIAB live for jazz guitar instrumental gigs in restaurants for years with no problems. Way back then (last time was late January) I probably overdid sound quality (QSC's etc.) but it was all fun, the restaurants were close by and I enjoyed it all. I really got use to following the changes on BIAB for improvising. But, looks like for the time-being what little "playing out" I'll be doing will be in backyards for friends and neighbors so I needed to simplify and downsize my rig. Converting BIAB to AVI's just takes one click and I found HANDBRAKE, a free AVI to ".m4v" converter which converted all the AVI's to m4v's as a batch. The .m4v's run just fine on Android, I can blue-tooth from phone/tablet to whatever amp is convenient and even my tired-old-eyes can easily see the animated BIAB chord-sheet on my phone and tablet. Pretty darned slick.

As I was doing this seems like I remember this being discussed here on the forum sometime in the distant past, so thanks again for the tip. Very good solution.
