Answer 1

Just add android:focusable="true" to your WebView layout:

<WebView android:id="@+id/uiContent"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:focusable="true"/>

Answer 2

make sure that parent layout that extends "ViewGroup" doesn't have property

android:descendantFocusability = "blocksDescendants" which prevent child layout from getting focused

Answer 3

This helped my problem for focus:

Webview.requestFocus(View.FOCUS_DOWN|View.FOCUS_UP);

and this for sensitive touch:

Webview.getSettings().setLightTouchEnabled(true);
