Question

I am developing an application in which I’ve to use a webview. My question is CAN WE STOP WEBVIEW’s BUILT IN SCROLLING FUNCTIONALITY?

I have tried this so for:

in onScrollChanged super.scroll(0,0);

But this wont help me. I’m looking for something like we can stop zooming using the webview settings…

Anyone having better Idea other then this would be great.

Answer 1

Finally I’ve found the answer myself..:P

we can stop or start scrolling and scaling of the page by doing some javascript stuff in the page. Here is the javascript code:

function stopScroll()
{
    document.ontouchmove = function(e){ e.preventDefault(); }
}

function startScroll()
{
    document.ontouchmove = function(e){ return true; }
}

Now you can call these functions using your android webview using following:

myWebView.loadUrl("javascript:stopScroll()");

By calling above function stopScroll from the HTML page will be called.
