Android WebView seems to ignore "viewport" information on web pages

Question

I have a website that is using the viewport META tag to tell mobile browsers how to display content ( ). Viewing the page in the Android browser looks correct (and iPhone, etc).

When I load the page into a WebView component in an android Application, the WebView ignores the "VIEWPORT" tag, and renders the page at "full" resolution, which is zoomed-in in this case.

Double-check your implementation against the "Building web pages to support different screen densities" section of the WebView documentation: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebView.html
