How to set isHardwareAccelerated value for Android View

Question

Working on Kotlin WebView,

val webView = WebView(this)
.....
webView.isHardwareAccelerated = true

returns compiler error ,

Val cannot be reassigned

How can I set isHardwareAccelerated = true for web view?

Update

This mod Rathod marked it as possibly duplicate and even closed the post without noticing the title of the post. I know when does this exception occurs. What I don't know is, how to modify the isHardwareAccelerated value on other way.

@NileshRathod please read the post carefully before marking as duplicated. I know when this exception occurs, what I don't know is how to change the `isHardwareAccelerated` value on other way. — Sazzad Hissain Khan, Jun 27 '19 at 12:17
Check the doc https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/hardware-accel#view-level — Rodrigo Queiroz, Jun 27 '19 at 16:57
@RodrigoQueiroz I have used `setLayerType()` as per documents suggestion but my `webView.isHardwareAccelerated` still returning false. Do you know why? — Sazzad Hissain Khan, Jun 28 '19 at 04:54

Try this :

webView.setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_HARDWARE, null);

Good luck!

@Demidov I have applied but `webView.isHardwareAccelerated` still returning `false` – Sazzad Hissain Khan Jun 28 '19 at 01:27
Could you set android:hardwareAccelerated="true" for Activity but not for only WebView? – Ilya Demidov Jun 28 '19 at 08:56
@Demidov I have already set true for Application, Activity and WebView. No luck so far. Did you try yourself and it worked for you? – Sazzad Hissain Khan Jun 28 '19 at 09:25
I set true for Activity and it worked but I did not check isHardwareAccelerated for WebView exactly. – Ilya Demidov Jun 28 '19 at 10:32
