I am using a custom WebView in my .NET MAUI application to display dynamic HTML content on iOS. The HTML content changes daily, and I need to adjust the height of the WebView accordingly.
Custom WebView Renderer (iOS)
Here’s my custom WebViewRenderer implementation:
public class MyWebViewRenderer : ViewRenderer<MyWebView, WKWebView>
{
WKWebView _wkWebView;
protected override void OnElementChanged(ElementChangedEventArgs<MyWebView> e)
{
base.OnElementChanged(e);
if (Control == null)
{
var config = new WKWebViewConfiguration();
config.AllowsInlineMediaPlayback = true;
_wkWebView = new WKWebView(Frame, config);
//transparent background
_wkWebView = new WKWebView(CGRect.Empty, config);
_wkWebView.BackgroundColor = UIColor.Clear;
_wkWebView.ScrollView.BackgroundColor = UIColor.Clear;
_wkWebView.ScrollView.ScrollEnabled = false;
_wkWebView.Opaque = false;
_wkWebView.NavigationDelegate = new MyNavigationDelegate();
SetNativeControl(_wkWebView);
if (Device.Idiom == TargetIdiom.Tablet)
{
//when targeting on iPad, add this to force the iPad behavior
_wkWebView.Configuration.DefaultWebpagePreferences.PreferredContentMode = WKContentMode.Mobile;
}
SetNativeControl(_wkWebView);
}
}
public class MyNavigationDelegate : WKNavigationDelegate
{
public override void DidFinishNavigation(WKWebView webView, WKNavigation navigation)
{
string fontSize = "";
if (Device.Idiom == TargetIdiom.Phone)
{
fontSize = "500%"; // > 100% shows larger than previous
}
else if (Device.Idiom == TargetIdiom.Tablet)
{
fontSize = "320%"; // > 100% shows larger than previous
}
string injectCustomFontScript = @"
let style = document.createElement('style');
style.innerHTML = `
@font-face {
font-family: 'CustomFont';
src: url('Poppins-Light') format('truetype');
}
body, p, h1, h2, h3, h5, h6 {
font-family: 'CustomFont', sans-serif !important;
color: #313131 !important;
}
h4 {
font-family: 'CustomFont', sans-serif !important;
color: #679E18 !important;
}
`;
document.head.appendChild(style);
";
string stringsss = String.Format(@"document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].style.webkitTextSizeAdjust= '{0}'", fontSize);
WKJavascriptEvaluationResult handler = (NSObject result, NSError err) =>
{
if (err != null)
{
System.Console.WriteLine(err);
}
if (result != null)
{
System.Console.WriteLine(result);
}
};
webView.EvaluateJavaScript(stringsss, handler);
webView.EvaluateJavaScript(injectCustomFontScript, handler);
}
}
protected override void OnElementPropertyChanged(object sender, PropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
base.OnElementPropertyChanged(sender, e);
if (e.PropertyName == "Url")
{
string finalHtml = Element.Url.Replace("width=\"640\"", "width=\"1000\"");
Control.LoadHtmlString(finalHtml, null);
}
}
}
XAML Code:
<local:MyWebView
x:Name="ios_web_view"
Margin="0,5,0,0"
Grid.Row="0"
HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"
VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand">
<local:MyWebView.HeightRequest>
<OnIdiom x:TypeArguments="x:Double">
<OnIdiom.Phone>10000</OnIdiom.Phone>
<OnIdiom.Tablet>15000</OnIdiom.Tablet>
<OnIdiom.Desktop>10000</OnIdiom.Desktop>
</OnIdiom>
</local:MyWebView.HeightRequest>
</local:MyWebView>
I want the WebView height to automatically adjust based on the HTML content’s height instead of setting a fixed HeightRequest. Since the content changes daily, I cannot hardcode a specific height.

Reset to default 1You can customize the MyNavigationDelegate
to calculate the WebView Height based on WKWebView.ScrollView. You may try the following way to adjust the height,
In the MyNavigationDelegate
method, add a Constructor and set the value for myWebViewRenderer
. Then in the DidFinishNavigation
method, set the WebView's HeightRequest
.
public class MyNavigationDelegate : WKNavigationDelegate
{
MyWebViewRenderer myWebViewRenderer;
public MyNavigationDelegate(MyWebViewRenderer webViewRenderer)
{
myWebViewRenderer = webViewRenderer;
}
public async override void DidFinishNavigation(WKWebView webView, WKNavigation navigation)
{
......
//add the following code
var wv = myWebViewRenderer.Element as MyWebView;
if (webView != null)
{
if (webView.ScrollView != null && webView.ScrollView.ContentSize != null)
{
//wait for the content to be rendererd
await Task.Delay(200);
wv.HeightRequest = (double)webView.ScrollView.ContentSize.Height;
}
}
}
And in OnElementChanged
, set
if (Control == null)
{
....
_wkWebView.NavigationDelegate = new MyNavigationDelegate(this);
SetNativeControl(_wkWebView);
}
Hope it helps!
