Android WebView inside ScrollView scrolls only scrollview

Question

In my app I have a ScrollView that contains some linearviews, some textviews and One Webview, then other linear layouts etc. The problem is that the WebView does not scroll.

Answer 1

Working off the solutions of @Panos and @Dipendra I still had some issues with a mapview inside a scrollview. It would not consistently scroll vertically and the methods were deprecated so I worked out this trick I use with mapview inside of scrollviews and works great. I hope this can help a few of you.

public class TouchyWebView extends WebView {
ViewParent mViewParent;

public TouchyWebView(Context context) {
    super(context);
}

public TouchyWebView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
    super(context, attrs);
}

public TouchyWebView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
    super(context, attrs, defStyle);
}

public void setViewParent(@Nullable final ViewParent viewParent) { //any ViewGroup
    mViewParent = viewParent;
}


@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {

    switch (event.getAction()) {
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
            if (null == mViewParent) {
                getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);
            } else {
                mViewParent.requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);
            }
            break;
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
            if (null == mViewParent) {
                getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(false);
            } else {
                mViewParent.requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(false);
            }
            break;
        default:
            break;
    }
    return super.onTouchEvent(event);
}

@Override
protected void onOverScrolled(int scrollX, int scrollY, boolean clampedX, boolean clampedY) {
    super.onOverScrolled(scrollX, scrollY, clampedX, clampedY);
    requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);


}

}

I also followed @Dipendra advice about settings the controls.

mWebView.getSettings().setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
mWebView.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(true);
mWebView.getSettings().setSupportZoom(true);
mWebView.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
