Remove unwanted White Space in WebView Android

Question

I have started developing an App using WebView. Actually I am loading an Image with Webview (I like to use the built-in zoom controls of the class). I can successfully load

Answer 1

I had irritating white space bordering the rendered HTML content in my WebView (no images in that content though). At first I thought it was related to CSS issues as mentioned above. But by using a style sheet to change the background for HTML, BODY, etc. it looked more and more like padding around the WebView.

user3241873 shows above how to adjust the padding on the WebView itself, but what I found was when the default Android application created by Eclipse generated the layout file (RelativeLayout "container" rather than "LinearLayout"), it added these attributes to the RelativeLayout:

android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"

If you look up those padding values in res/values/dimens.xml, you'll see that they're set to 16dp. When I changed to 0dp, it removed the unsightly white space :)

If someone replaces the default (Hello World) TextView with a WebView, the padding for the parent RelativeLayout sticks around like an obnoxious relative in the house.
