How to remove zoom buttons on Android webview?

Question

Is it possible to remove the zoom buttons ? Its showing when I zooming the WebView. I need zoom control without these buttons. I'm using android 2.3.

I used below code,

WebView webview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
webview.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(false);
webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
FrameLayout mContentView = (FrameLayout) getWindow().
        getDecorView().findViewById(android.R.id.content);
final View zoom = webview.getZoomControls();
mContentView.addView(zoom, ZOOM_PARAMS);
zoom.setVisibility(View.GONE);

Answer 1

getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(false);

use the above line of code to remove the zoom buttons.

On API >= 11, you can use:

webView.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
webView.getSettings().setDisplayZoomControls(false);

Updated::: If you want have zoom in/out without zoom controls then use the below code(copied from here)

public class Main extends Activity {
  private WebView myWebView;
  private static final FrameLayout.LayoutParams ZOOM_PARAMS =
new FrameLayout.LayoutParams(
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
Gravity.BOTTOM);

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.webview);
    myWebView = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.webView);

    FrameLayout mContentView = (FrameLayout) getWindow().
    getDecorView().findViewById(android.R.id.content);
    final View zoom = myWebView.getZoomControls();
    mContentView.addView(zoom, ZOOM_PARAMS);
    zoom.setVisibility(View.GONE);

    myWebView.loadUrl("http://www.almondmendoza.com");
  }
}

Change this on your AndroidManifest:

    android:minSdkVersion="8"

to this:

    android:minSdkVersion="11"

than use this in your web view settings:

getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
    getSettings().setDisplayZoomControls(false);
