Android WebView - Resize after orientation without reload the page

Question

I have a webview with android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation" on the AndroidManifest.xml file because i don't want to reload the page when i'm changing the orienatation.

There are some pages when i'm changing from portrait to landscape and then from lanscape to portrait the page takes only half of the webview.

How can i fix it? I don't want to reload the page again. There is any way to resize the content without reload the page?

I will try the "android:windowSoftInputMode" but screenSize is available only from API11. I need from API8. – bilgo Dec 19 '13 at 07:44
you can set minsdk=8 & targetSdk=11 so you can get it – PankajAndroid Dec 20 '13 at 04:23
Thanx, it works for me! I'm using android:minSdkVersion="11", android:targetSdkVersion="19" – j.c Jan 14 '16 at 09:45

I stuck in same problem, but at last found out the reason is related with "viewport" tag in the html file, not code. Try add this:
<meta name="viewport" content="user-scalable=yes, width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"/>
in the html file and see whether the problem still exists.
Gluck.

android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"

android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize" not working. Still half of screen. – bilgo Aug 18 '13 at 13:00
