Here´s my setup:

I´m using a custom webview with generally

Answer 1

You need to override OnTouchListener on your WebView by

    wv.setOnTouchListener(this);

and inside method onTouch just check that if it detect double tab then ignore the zoom in webview by force to return true

@Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    onTouchEvent(event);

    if (doubletab)
        return true;

    return false;
}

You can see full code like this: MainActivity.java

package com.example.testwebview;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.GestureDetector;
import android.view.GestureDetector.OnGestureListener;
import android.view.View.OnTouchListener;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.view.View;
import android.webkit.WebSettings;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class MainActivity extends Activity implements OnGestureListener, OnTouchListener, GestureDetector.OnDoubleTapListener
{

    TextView tv;
    WebView wv;
    GestureDetector gd;

    boolean doubletab = false;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        gd = new GestureDetector(this);

        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1);
        wv = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.webView1);

        WebSettings setting = wv.getSettings();
        setting.setBuiltInZoomControls(false);
        setting.setSupportZoom(false);
        setting.setUseWideViewPort(true);
        setting.setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);

        wv.setOnTouchListener(this);
        wv.loadUrl("http://www.sanook.com");
    }
    @Override
    public boolean onDoubleTap(MotionEvent arg0) {
        tv.setText("double tap");
        doubletab = true;
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return false;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onDoubleTapEvent(MotionEvent arg0) {
        tv.setText("double tap event");
        doubletab = true;
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return false;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onSingleTapConfirmed(MotionEvent arg0) {
        tv.setText("single tap confirm");
        doubletab = false;
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return false;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent me)
    {
        return gd.onTouchEvent(me);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onDown(MotionEvent arg0) {
        tv.setText("down");
        doubletab = false;
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return false;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onFling(MotionEvent arg0, MotionEvent arg1, float arg2,
            float arg3) {
        tv.setText("fling");
        doubletab = false;
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return false;
    }

    @Override
    public void onLongPress(MotionEvent arg0) {
        tv.setText("long press");
        doubletab = false;
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }

    @Override
    public boolean onScroll(MotionEvent arg0, MotionEvent arg1, float arg2,
            float arg3) {
        tv.setText("scroll");
        doubletab = false;
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return false;
    }

    @Override
    public void onShowPress(MotionEvent arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        tv.setText("show press");
        doubletab = false;

    }


    @Override
    public boolean onSingleTapUp(MotionEvent arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        tv.setText("single tab up");
        doubletab = false;
        return false;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        onTouchEvent(event);

        if (doubletab)
            return true;

        return false;
    }
}

don't forget to add permission in manifest.xml
