Android WebView inside ScrollView scrolls only scrollview

Question

In my app I have a ScrollView that contains some linearviews, some textviews and One Webview, then other linear layouts etc. The problem is that the WebView does not scroll.

The solution provided by @panos works but it still has issues when used with ScrollView. The following enhanced version overcomes that problem.

public class TouchyWebView extends WebView {

    public TouchyWebView(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public TouchyWebView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    public TouchyWebView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
    }

     @Override
     public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
         //Check is required to prevent crash
         if (MotionEventCompat.findPointerIndex(event, 0) == -1) {
         return super.onTouchEvent(event);
         }

         if (event.getPointerCount() >= 2) {
             requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);
         } else {
             requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(false);
         }

         return super.onTouchEvent(event);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onOverScrolled(int scrollX, int scrollY, boolean clampedX, boolean clampedY) {
        super.onOverScrolled(scrollX, scrollY, clampedX, clampedY);
        requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);
    }

}

Additionally, you might want to have the following settings for your TouchyWebView.

mWebView.getSettings().setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
mWebView.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(true);
mWebView.getSettings().setSupportZoom(true);
mWebView.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
