Set zoom for Webview

Question

I have a WebView and 2 urls to open it it. What I want to do is, when i set a zoom level for 1st url, and then i go to 2nd url, it should also have the same zoom level. Right now, the zoom level resets for both.

Thanks, Farha

Answer 1

this will be applicable in this scenario i believe

mWebView.setInitialScale(ZOOM_LEVEL); 

where ZOOM_LEVEL for example can be 25 for 25% 150 for 150%

Answer 2

use the webSettings class

webview.getSettings().setDefaultZoom(WebSettings.ZoomDensity.FAR); 

Notice that although webSettings is available since API Level 1, WebSettings.ZoomDensity is available since API Level 7. Works well for all device resolutions.

Also, in order to enable zoom on the webView, add the following code:

webView.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
