Disabling zoom-in zoom-out functionality of the UIWebView

Question

I am new to iOS development and I am developing an application which will show and web page in UIWebView. I want to get rid of the default zoom-in and zoom-out functionality of the webview.

Answer 1

This is in the Apple Documentation:

@property(nonatomic) BOOL scalesPageToFit

If YES, the webpage is scaled to fit and the user can zoom in and zoom out. If NO, user zooming is disabled. The default value is NO.

Interface Builder Approach:

1. Make sure that the "Scale pages to fit" tick box in the right-side column of the interface builder when you click on your webview is un-ticked. It's right at the top.

2. You're also going to need to un-tick the box that says "Multiple Touch" around half way down. That will disable pinching to zoom.

Code Approach:

You can also do it programmatically with this code:

webView.scalesPageToFit = NO;

You're also going to want to add:

webView.multipleTouchEnabled = NO;

That will disable the ability to pinch and zoom, since it disables the ability to use multiple fingers in an action, and pinching requires two, obviously!

Answer 2

set the UIWebView property scalesPageToFit to NO, will disable the user zooming

myWebView.scalesPageToFit = NO;
