What is this line in Android webview?

Question

I`m trying to make a app with webview in Android and IoS. and i have a question, when i clicked any area in Android webview, this orange line appear in only Android. Furthermore It doesn't appear in IoS even I use same webview and same contents. What is this line? I guess it is just android webview's attributes, but I'm not sure.

this is the screenshot when I clicked that area. It is a little bit secure thing, please understand remove contents.

it`s my source : layout.xml

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/root"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:weightSum="10"
style="@style/rootlinear" >

<WebView
    android:id="@+id/webView"
    style="@drawable/border"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_weight="9.5"
    android:layout_height="0dp" />

and webview Setting

private void setWebviewInit(WebView webview) {
    webview.setInitialScale(1);
    webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
    webview.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(true);
    webview.getSettings().setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
    
    webview.getSettings().setSupportZoom(true);
    webview.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
    webview.getSettings().setDisplayZoomControls(false);
    
    webview.setWebViewClient(webviewclient);
    webview.setWebChromeClient(new WebviewAlert());
    webview.setWebChromeClient(new ChromeClient(this));
    webview.addJavascriptInterface(new JIFace(), "ezandroid");
}

Is the webview in match_parent and it's parent also ? with no padding nor margin ? — An-droid, Jul 19 '16 at 11:56
Please, read [this (how to ask)](http://stackoverflow.com/help/how-to-ask) and [this (mcve)](http://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve) before asking, as those will help you get more and better answers from the community. We need at least your layout.xml file used to inflate that Activity. — Bonatti, Jul 19 '16 at 12:07
