The font looks like smaller in WKWebView than in UIWebView

I changed UIWebView to WKWebView, however, with the same html, the font in WKWebView looks like smaller than in UIWebView. I don't want this happen, so is there any way to avoid this change?

Solution

  • Finally I solved this problem by adding an html string:

    • For Objective-C:
    NSString *headString = @"<head><meta name='viewport' content='width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no'></head>";
[self.webView loadHTMLString:[headString stringByAppendingString:yourHTMLString] baseURL:nil];
    • For Swift:
    let headString = "<head><meta name='viewport' content='width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no'></head>"
webView.loadHTMLString(headString + yourHTMLString, baseURL: nil)

    What's more,if you want to load url rather than html you can try:

    private var isInjected: Bool = false
webView.navigationDelegate = self
// MARK: - WKNavigationDelegate
func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didFinish navigation: WKNavigation!) {
    if isInjected == true {
        return
    }
    self.isInjected = true
    // get HTML text
    let js = "document.body.outerHTML"
    webView.evaluateJavaScript(js) { (html, error) in
        let headString = "<head><meta name='viewport' content='width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no'></head>"
        webView.loadHTMLString(headString + (html as! String), baseURL: nil)
    }
    
}
