did you think about using ScrollView ??

<ScrollView android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
            android:layout_height="86px" 
            android:id="@+id/scrollTxtDescription"
            android:layout_below="@id/txtLieuPromo1" 
            android:layout_alignLeft="@id/txtLieuPromo1">

            <LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:id="@+id/layoutTxtDescription"
                >

                <WebView android:id="@+id/txtDescription" 
                    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    />

        </ScrollView>

Answer 2

i use the next code and it worked for me (tested on android 2.3 and android 4.2 )

layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:fillViewport="true" >

    <FrameLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

        <WebView
            android:id="@+id/web_view"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent" />
    </FrameLayout>

</ScrollView>

code:

final WebSettings settings = mWebView.getSettings();
settings.setDomStorageEnabled(true);
settings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
mWebView.setVerticalScrollBarEnabled(true);

mWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
    @Override
    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(final WebView view, final String url) {
        super.shouldOverrideUrlLoading(view, url);
        return false;
    }

    @Override
    public void onPageFinished(final WebView view, final String url) {
        super.onPageFinished(view, url);
        mWebView.requestLayout();
    }

});
mWebView.loadUrl(uri);
