match_parent on webView not actually matching parent.

I've just been following along with the BlogReader tutorial, but after adding a webView and manually setting it to match_parent on both the height and the width, I still get an ugly border around the element. The border appears on both the simulator and a real device.

Several SO answers said it had to do with the app not supporting all screen sizes, so I added the following to my AndroidManifext.xml with no luck as far as a solution goes:

<supports-screens
        android:smallScreens="true"
        android:normalScreens="true"
        android:largeScreens="true"
        android:xlargeScreens="true"
        android:anyDensity="true"/>

Any ideas? I'm using the latest build of Android Studio (0.2.3)

I even spent a little time searching the Treehouse forums and I couldn't seem to find anything! Thank you very much!
