Scrollable content inside an HTML does not scroll in android emulator or phone

Question

I have a WebView that displays some HTML content. Inside my HTML I have placed overflow-y: scroll for a particular div. Now when the number of items exceed the area of the div the div does not scroll. Anyone having any idea, please suggest.

overflow-y: auto doesn't help either.

In my experience, this does not work on Android 2.x devices, though it seems to work fine on ICS. — Andrew Barber, Apr 23 '12 at 08:17

This is a problem with Android. Maybe the WebView is unable to support the scrollable div element.

Found a possible solution at the following link: http://www.seabreezecomputers.com/tips/scroll-div.htm

Worked for me. Hopefully it will work for you guys. Cheers

As the content is inside the HTML you cannot put a ScrollView. – soumyajit das Apr 23 '12 at 12:22
