Web view flicker/blinks while scrolling

Question

I am working on hybrid application, there are HTML5 files which i bundled within application. I need to play video on some HTML pages for that i used android:hardwareAcc

Answer 1

It seems that the android:hardwareAccelerated="true" is the root of the problem. If you really need it, you can solve this issue by calling:

webView.setLayerType(WebView.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE, null);

It requires API level 11, so you can wrap it in a method like this:

@TargetApi(11)
protected void configureLayerType(WebView webView) {
    webView.setLayerType(WebView.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE, null);
}
