        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />
</RelativeLayout>

What you say is not possible. Post the code where you set the WebView as Gone — Ankur Aggarwal, Oct 27 '15 at 08:56

Oh, I've found my answer.

I override onPageFinished method, and in that I used setVisibility(View.Visibile), so after some seconds it runs and WebView goes visible. So be careful about threads.

Try this code

 <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
  <GridView
    android:id="@+id/gridView1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:layout_marginBottom="160dp"
    android:layoutAnimation="@anim/layout_item_fade_in"
    android:numColumns="3" >
</GridView>

<WebView
    android:id="@+id/webView1"
    android:visibility="gone"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />
</RelativeLayout>

this code works for grideView but dose not work for webView – mbagher Oct 27 '15 at 09:01
clean the project and try again sometimes it will help... select project then go to **option** from toolbar select **clean**... – sud Oct 27 '15 at 09:07
make your **Relative Layout** `width` as `fill_parent` or `wrap_content` – sud Oct 27 '15 at 09:14

<WebView
    android:id="@+id/webView1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:visibility="gone"    
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"  />

in code:

Webview webview =  (Webview)findViewById(R.id.webview1);
webview.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
