I have a Gallery which contains WebView’s as its children, when I scroll the Gallery I am getting the following warning,

'04-07 19:35:37.409: WARN/webcore(664): Can't get the viewWidth after the first layout
 04-07 19:35:37.470: WARN/webcore(664): skip viewSizeChanged as w is 0'

What does this warning refer to ? [I have not hardcoded any of the Layout params.]

Any light on why this warning occurs would be really helpful…

and these were printed too

    I’ve had the same problem my normal webview wouldn’t work and gave me the same error as you have described.

    skip viewSizeChanged as w is 0

    As I understand it this has to do with Android zoom which newer devices allows in order to avoid applications (designed for phones) appear as small window applications on e.g. tablets.

    My solution:

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

    the last line setBuiltInZoomControls(true) made the issue disappear for me.
    I hope this helps you!

    [EDIT] This solution worked fine for me yesterday, however this morning I got the error again. This is probably not the solution. Sorry for misleading post.

    [EDIT2] Now I have changed my code and I haven’t experienced the error again after that, I ran a test suite of 1000 iterations without fault. What solved my problem was that the url wasn’t passed correctly to the webview. It got an empty string, after making sure that a correct url the problem disappeared. Hopefully this will help someone.
