Android WebView not respecting scaling percentage

Question

I have a WebView which I'm trying to have scale to a certain percent on loading the page. The iPhone version of this software uses the HTML meta-tag:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=320, initial-scale=0.95, maximum-scale=2.0, user-scalable=1">

Since Android's WebView doesn't seem to respect that tag I hard-coded the percent using setInitialScale(). However, the WebView is just flat-out ignoring this method call. No matter what number I put in there it shows at 100%.

Ideas?

Update: It's not working in the emulator, on my Droid (Motorola), or on my G1 (HTC).

Answer 1

did you enable the zoom support for your webview?

    WebSettings webSettings = mywebView.getSettings();
    webSettings.setSupportZoom(true);
