    android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />
    </RelativeLayout>

I think you have used fragment for it. So, try to check padding or margin in activity xml. — D.J, Jan 16 '17 at 04:05
try to use layout_weight & height match_parent of a webview...also put your main_activity .XML file — Sagar Aghara, Jan 16 '17 at 04:06
yes...then remove margin OR padding in your activity_main that will solve your problem..that is already told by @DheerubhaiBansal — Sagar Aghara, Jan 16 '17 at 04:08
yes 100% that is padding in your activity_main 16dp check it. — Sagar Aghara, Jan 16 '17 at 04:10

You simply add this in your parent layout:

<WebView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:id="@+id/webView" />

The problem that you are having is most likely because your activity_main probably still has the preset padding that is put in when you first create an Application. This is a code example I made and it worked on full Screen:

MainActivity.java

activity_main.xml

Replace your WebView code with this one

<WebView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:id="@+id/webView"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
    android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:layout_margin="0dp"
    android:padding="0dp"/>

I think this code change works for you

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
ndroid:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:paddingBottom="0dp"
android:paddingLeft="0dp"
android:paddingRight="0dp"
android:paddingTop="0dp"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >

in xml file, change activity padding to "0dp" and change webview to fill_parent or match_parent.
