cordova - Enable Zoom Option In WebView Android

Question

I am developing the application using PhoneGap. I cannot enable built in zoom in/out in the webview.

I used Following code in onCreate Function

WebView web = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
web.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);

But it did not work.

And The Activity class is

activity_main.xml

<WebView  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/webview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
/> 

Answer 1

Check if you don't have a ScrollView wrapping your Webview.

It seems ScrollView gets in the way of the pinch gesture.

To fix it, just take your Webview outside the ScrollView nd then use the same line:

webSettings.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
webSettings.setSupportZoom(true);
