LayoutAlgorithm
class LayoutAlgorithm
Enum for controlling the layout of html.
NORMAL means no rendering changes. This is the recommended choice for maximum compatibility across different platforms and Android versions.SINGLE_COLUMN moves all content into one column that is the width of the view.NARROW_COLUMNS makes all columns no wider than the screen if possible. Only use this for API levels prior to android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#KITKAT.TEXT_AUTOSIZING boosts font size of paragraphs based on heuristics to make the text readable when viewing a wide-viewport layout in the overview mode. It is recommended to enable zoom support setSupportZoom when using this mode. Supported from API level android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#KITKAT
