I have a WebView which should support zoom. The UI design requires custom zoom

  • 0

I have a WebView which should support zoom. The UI design requires custom zoom controls and therefore I disabled the built in zoom controls. The problem now, the pinch zoom is disabled, too. Setting the built in controls enables the pinch zoom.

final WebSettings settings = mWebView.getSettings();
settings.setBuiltInZoomControls(false); // disables the pinch zoom, too
settings.setSupportZoom(true);

Does someone know a solution to disable/hide the built in controls and keep the pinch zoom?

    Yes there is a function setDisplayZoomControls,
    Sets whether the on screen zoom buttons are used. A combination of built in zoom controls enabled and on screen zoom controls disabled allows for pinch to zoom to work without the on screen controls

    NOTE: Since API Level 11 only:(
