Enable horizontal scrolling in a webview

Question

In my webview activity, I can scroll the webpage vertically (up and down) but i can\'t scroll it horizontally (from right to left or from left to right), when I zoom the web

Answer 1

Short answer:

Use this

mWebView.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(true);

Long Answer:

It might be due to any of the below factors

setLoadWithOverviewMode(true) loads the WebView completely zoomed out

setUseWideViewPort(true) makes the Webview have a normal viewport (such as a normal desktop browser), while when false the webview will have a viewport constrained to it's own dimensions (so if the webview is 50px*50px the viewport will be the same size)

OR

Webview.setInitialScale(xx);
