WebView Zoom Out - more Android than B4A

[canalrun]

Hello,

This question is really an Android question rather than a B4A question. I have had much better results asking here vs. general Android forums -

I am using a WebView in B4A and (using the Reflection Library) Android. After loading a webpage I would like to use the on-screen Zoom out control. After one or two clicks it becomes grayed and no longer allows me to zoom out any further. When I call the zoomOut() function in code, it also does not zoom out any further.

What is limiting how much I can zoom out. I would expect to be able to zoom out much further than I am allowed - to the point of making the page too small to read. But, zoom out is disabled well before I reach this level of zoom.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Barry.

Hi Barry!

I face the same problem and I wonder if you solved the problem and if so
you may let me know how you did that?

Thanks

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
Dim wv As WebView
Dim wvs As WebViewSettings
wvs.setUseWideViewPort(wv,True)
setZoomRate(10)
End Sub
Sub setZoomRate(rate As Int)
   Dim r As Reflector
   r.Target=wv
   r.RunMethod2("setInitialScale",rate,"java.lang.int")
End Sub

use lib:Reflector+WebViewSettings
