Setting webview at the center of relative layout

Question

I am setting following property for webview

    webView.getSettings().setAllowFileAccess(true);
    webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
    webView.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);

and using following layout.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:background="@color/solid_white"
    android:layout_marginLeft="1dp" android:gravity="center">


     <WebView
        android:id="@+id/MyView"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        >
    </WebView> 

</RelativeLayout>

This layout is for fragment. View is coming centrally vertical but it not coming centrally horizontal. What I need to do to set webview at the center of relative layout?

Hey try this property in your webview. `android:scaleType="centerInside"` perhaps it will work for you. — RobinHood, Mar 30 '12 at 07:33
@RobinHood there is no such property for webview or relative layout. — Vivek, Mar 30 '12 at 08:30

Just try this:

MyView.getSettings().setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
MyView.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(true);

I hope it works for you.

Actually Android WebView's wrap content layout paramter fill the parent width, and I believe its coz it is being optimized to use all the screen width, so you need to set some fixed width, to show in center

In Relative Layout attribute change like this :

android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"

No need to add android:layout_centerInParent="true" in WebView Hope it will work.
