Disable zoom on web-view react-native?

Little hacky stuff but it works 

const INJECTEDJAVASCRIPT = 'const meta = document.createElement(\'meta\'); meta.setAttribute(\'content\', \'width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=0.99, user-scalable=0\'); meta.setAttribute(\'name\', \'viewport\'); document.getElementsByTagName(\'head\')[0].appendChild(meta); '



<WebView
        injectedJavaScript={INJECTEDJAVASCRIPT}
        scrollEnabled
        ref={(webView) => {
          this.webView = webView
        }}
        originWhitelist={['*']}
        source={{ uri: url }}
        onNavigationStateChange={(navState) => {
          this.setState({
            backButtonEnabled: navState.canGoBack,
          })
        }}
      />

Note initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=0.99, user-scalable=0


Thought this might help others, I solved this by adding the following in the html <head> section:

<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0">


For those who want a clear idea:

const INJECTEDJAVASCRIPT = `const meta = document.createElement('meta'); meta.setAttribute('content', 'width=device-width, initial-scale=0.5, maximum-scale=0.5, user-scalable=0'); meta.setAttribute('name', 'viewport'); document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(meta); `

 <WebView
  source={{ html: params.content.rendered }}
  scalesPageToFit={isAndroid() ? false : true}
  injectedJavaScript={INJECTEDJAVASCRIPT}
  scrollEnabled
 />

Try scalesPageToFit={false} more info in here
