The only solution I have found that actually works, is in the com.android.email client that comes with the Android Open Source Project. There, they have a RigidWebView which works with the wrap_content and will resize accordingly when the content changes. Source code for this can be found here:

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/apps/Email/+/c19c1226da4a32e49e81c202478384f0348bcfef/src/com/android/email/view/RigidWebView.java

You'll need the Clock and Throttle classes that come with it, but with minor changes to the code, you can make it so it works in your app. Then anywhere where you would normally define a WebView, you can use RigidWebView instead.
