How to enable zoom controls and pinch zoom in a WebView

Question

The default Browser app for Android shows zoom controls when you re scrolling and also allows for pinch zooming  How can I enable this feature for my own Webview   I ve tried    webSettings setBuiltInZoomControls true   webSettings setSupportZoom true     but neither of the features get enabled as a result  Btw I ve set a WebChromeClient and a WebViewClient for the Webview if that makes a difference    Thanks

To enable zoom controls in a WebView  add the following line   webView getSettings   setBuiltInZoomControls true     With this line of code  you get the zoom enabled in your WebView  if you want to remove the zoom in and zoom out buttons provided  add the following line of code   webView getSettings   setDisplayZoomControls false

Check if you don t have a ScrollView wrapping your Webview   In my case that was the problem  It seems ScrollView gets in the way of the pinch gesture   To fix it  just take your Webview outside the ScrollView
