The WebViewer cannot be zoomed using blocks.   The WebViewer is not a full browser.   If you want to do lots of other things, you can use ActivityStarter to call up the Android device's default browser. However, I do not think you can zoom that either other than using pinches and expand gestures with App Inventor.

Regards,
Steve

You can control the zoom via code on your webpage.
Google for somethibg like 'disable zoom on mobiles'...
