Strange. Inside OnCreate method, I'm using
webView.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
And it's working fine here.Anything particular in your webview ?
Use these:
webview.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);webview.getSettings().setDisplayZoomControls(false);
Check if you don't have a ScrollView wrapping your Webview.
In my case that was the problem. It seems ScrollView gets in the way of the pinch gesture.
To fix it, just take your Webview outside the ScrollView.
