Showing a Wix website in webview

We had exact problems with our sites not showing up full screen in webview. After doing lot of research and experimentation, the following is what worked for us. No need to do anything on wix side;

WebSettings settings = webView.getSettings();
settings.setUseWideViewPort(true);

The above should be placed under " protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super .onCreate(savedInstanceState)"

Hope this helps.

Could you post couple of screenshots? Cause if this does the trick you definitely deserve a cookie!

Here you go Nathan. Hope it works for others too.

Kudos to you as well. Thank you for starting discussion on a this topic. I thought there was something wrong with my wix site until I bumped into this thread and your comments made be to believe affirmatively that the issue is not on Wix side. So, I went onto dig more deeper into the issue and a possible solution.

I got same issue here but sometimes and not giving great experience for users but I solve it in the end it just need some tips and research Wix use a lot of java to give simple user experience you need an iOS or Android developer for that I did my app with pushing notifications and it looks great.
