Android WebView: how to let the css use the entire height w/ position absolute?

Question

I have a very responsive html/css page that uses position:absolute to put elements in place. e.g. a username input will have

position:absolute;
top:30%;
heig         


        

Answer 1

So in my case the problem was that I was setting the height of WebView using align parent instead of math_parent.

I was using this:

android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"

instead of this, THE RIGHT WAY:

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
