NativeScript: How do I disable zoom controls in WebView?

Question

I found the way to enable/disable zoom controls in Android WebView from following question.

How to remove zoom buttons on Android webview?

I'm using NativeScript and I don't see similar method in NativeScript WebView. Is there any way I can access the methods of Android WebView from NativeScript? Or, is there any other way?

Thanks.

You can get hold of the actual android trough the android property of your WebView. So you can probably use something like that in the loaded event:

var webView = page.getViewById("webViewID");
if(webView.android) { // in IOS android will be undefined
  webView.android.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(false);
}
