Is there a way to disable the zoom feature on input fields in webview?

Question

When a user clicks in an input field or textarea, the application zooms in. Is there a simple way to disable it?

Currently have the meta tag:

meta name=\

I know this thread is ancient history but I had the scaling issue with the virtual keyboard and eventually found the solution at this link:

Add these lines to the app's java source

appView.getSettings().setSupportZoom(false);
appView.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(false);
WebSettings ws = appView.getSettings();
ws.setDefaultZoom(WebSettings.ZoomDensity.MEDIUM);
appView.getSettings().setDefaultZoom(WebSettings.ZoomDensity.MEDIUM);
appView.setInitialScale(0);
ws.setSupportZoom(false);
ws.setBuiltInZoomControls(false);
ws.setUseWideViewPort(false);

I changed MEDIUM to FAR which keeps the screen at the original 1.0 magnification.

Hopefully that saves other people some searching
