Android local image displayed via webview is blurry

I have a webview loading an image from the assets/ folder. The image is displayed zoomed 100% (or more) and does not have the same clarity as the real image has at 100%

How can I set the webview to display the image zoomed out AND not downscale the quality?

Also, I am using a webview because ImageView would require me to reinvent smooth scrolling, tap to zoom, pinch to zoom, etc

Insight appreciated

Solution

  • I recall that problem. Webview automatically downsamples larger images probably out of memory concerns. If you want control of the quality you probably have to use ImageView. You could also try to use the gallery application instead.
