I've looked through dozens of pages if similar questions, none of them have any answers, so hopefully this one will be different.
I have a webview, and I do not want the zoom of the view to change from the initial zoom level I have it set to. The only thing which changes the zoom level currently is when a text box is focused.
I need to be able to do this through Java code, not using the viewport meta tag.
Just so I don't have the common responses, I have the following in my code to disable zooming, and the zoom controls:
mWebView.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(false);
mWebView.getSettings().setSupportZoom(false);
I'm thinking that a possible solution is to check to see when an onFocus or even an onClick event occurs within the WebView and then zoomOut, but I'm not even sure if that is possible?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
This issue has been fixed by a firmware update on HTC devices, it was (apparently) being caused by the Sense UI overriding default Android functionality incorrectly.
It is very difficult to provide information on exactly when this was corrected, however my web application no longer zooms when a text box is clicked on any HTC device with the latest firmware.
The following two lines of code will disable the "zoom" aspects of an android webview:
// disables the actual onscreen controls from showing up
mWebView.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(false);
// disables the ability to zoom
mWebView.getSettings().setSupportZoom(false);
