I have an Webview in my application where i display the html content using loadData() method. The Problem is HTML content is displayed along with some extra space at the bottom, I could not understand why the white space is coming.

For who set the viewport according to the accepted answer but still having problem, try removing padding and margin from HTML and BODY in pages inside the WebView. If you want to keep body padding, add box-sizing:border-box to body tag:

html{
    margin:0;padding:0;
}
body {
    margin:0;
    padding:20px;
    box-sizing:border-box;
}

This blog post solved my problem. I think it'll help. http://capdroid.wordpress.com/2014/08/07/resizing-webview-to-match-the-content-size/

   private void setupWebView() {
    webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
    webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
        @Override
        public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
            webView.loadUrl("javascript:MyApp.resize(document.body.getBoundingClientRect().height)");
            super.onPageFinished(view, url);
        }
    });
    webView.addJavascriptInterface(this, "MyApp");
}

@JavascriptInterface
public void resize(final float height) {
    MyActivity.this.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            webView.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(getResources().getDisplayMetrics().widthPixels, (int) (height * getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density)));
        }
    });
}

At last I found the answer for my own question, I need to append the meta tag along with my HTML content before adding it to the Webview. Please find the Code below

 String s="<head><meta name='viewport' content='target-densityDpi=device-dpi'/></head>";            
 webview.loadDataWithBaseURL(null,s+htmlContent,"text/html" , "utf-8",null);

The Viewport property inside the meta tag done the trick, please refer the following link for further details.

Better use width property also .Because some devices consider that .

eg:

String s="<head><meta name=viewport content=target-densitydpi=medium-dpi, width=device-width/></head>";
