With html below I expected that the green rectangle would occupy only half of the screen, but on practice it occupies the whole screen width. I tried other values for viewport width, no luck. Any ideas why it does not work?
Html
<html>
<head>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=640" />
</head>
<body>
    <div style="width: 300px; height: 50px; background: green;">300px</div>
    <div style="width: 600px; height: 50px; background: yellow;">600px</div>
</body>
</html>
Xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    >
    <WebView
        android:id="@+id/web_view"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        />
</LinearLayout>
