I am new to Android development. I am using Eclipse to develop an app which pulls info from a website. I selected a medium sized screen in Eclipse UI layout. I arranged various UI elements like buttons and spinners by varying the margin parameter from 4 sides. It looked perfect in same sized phones.

But when I run the app in phones like galaxy S3 the app layout concentrates itself into 1 part of screen. How can I overcome this and design a UI which appears somewhat same in all screen sizes (avoid tablets)?

    Check [this](http://developer.android.com/training/multiscreen/screensizes.html) – Mohamed_AbdAllah Jun 16 '13 at 12:53
  • i have already seen that.it mainly explains about various layouts like relative etc...and abt two pane apps..but as far as i know these things cant adjust the position of a ui element(only margin can do that precisely).i wan to know whether i can implement a dynamic margin which can be set as a factor of screen size. – user2488336 Jun 16 '13 at 13:01
  • It seems you did not fully read the document. You can create an entire layout for each screen size (/layout-mdpi, /layout-hdpi, /layout-xhdpi, ...etc) – Mohamed_AbdAllah Jun 16 '13 at 13:03
