WebView : WebSettings.LayoutAlgorithm.TEXT_AUTOSIZING : Below Android 4.4?

Issue

Is there backward compatibility for WebSettings.LayoutAlgorithm.TEXT_AUTOSIZING property of webview's settings (Introduced in API level 19)? (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebSettings.LayoutAlgorithm.html) I tried this (https://github.com/pwnall/chromeview/tree/master/src/org/chromium/android_webview) but not useful.

I need WebSettings.LayoutAlgorithm.TEXT_AUTOSIZING above 4.0 API level.

Solution

No, TEXT_AUTOSIZING was added in the KitKat WebView and would be rather hard to emulate in earlier versions. You could try Crosswalk, although it doesn't look like they expose this as a setting so it depends on which layout algorithm is set as their default.
