Removed AdMob from source code, but it's still showing an empty space at bottom in app Android Studio

Question

I have removed AdMob from my source code of Android Studio, but still, it's showing an empty space at the bottom in the app.

It's always occupying an empty space at the bottom. I do not know how to make that bottom space disappear completely and show a normal preview of the app without ads.

How can I do this?

Here is the code.

Mainactivity.java

package com.dshgh.webview;

import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.SharedPreferences;
import android.graphics.Color;

import com.google.firebase.analytics.FirebaseAnalytics;

import com.dshgh.webview.Fragments.WebViewFragment;


public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity  {

    private BroadcastReceiver mRegistrationBroadcastReceiver;
    boolean doubleBackToExitPressedOnce = false;
    private FirebaseAnalytics mFirebaseAnalytics;

    @Override

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        //ButterKnife.bind(this);
        rel_layout = (RelativeLayout)findViewById(R.id.rel_layout);
        // Obtain the FirebaseAnalytics instance.
        mFirebaseAnalytics = FirebaseAnalytics.getInstance(this);
        Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
        WebViewFragment webViewFragment = new WebViewFragment();
        bundle.putString("url", Config.homeUrl);
        webViewFragment.setArguments(bundle);
        loadFragment(webViewFragment, false, "webViewFragment");
        try {
            Intent intent = getIntent();
            String message = intent.getStringExtra("message");
            String url = intent.getStringExtra("url");
            Log.d("notification Data", message + url);
            if (url.length() > 0) {

        }
        getWindow().setSoftInputMode(
                WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);
        displayFirebaseRegId();
    }


    private void displayFirebaseRegId() {
        SharedPreferences pref = getApplicationContext().getSharedPreferences(Config.SHARED_PREF, 0);
        String regId = pref.getString("regId", null);

        Log.e("FCM", "Firebase reg id: " + regId);

        if (!TextUtils.isEmpty(regId)) {

I think you forgot to remove <com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView......./> from your XML page.

Please remove it.
