    copied!<p>I've an app that has a menu of about 10 buttons. On my test phone(HTC ONE X), all of the buttons are displayed correctly. On my other test phone(HTC Desire C) a couple of buttons are off the screen. The bottom 2 buttons and textviews are missing.</p> <p>How can I make the whole layout fit various screen sizes? Do i have to get the screen size at run-time eg use getDisplayMetrics etc?</p> <p>Thanks in advance, Matt.</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:background="@drawable/carefreebgscaledlighting" android:orientation="vertical" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"&gt; &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/textviewcompanyname" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" android:textColor="#003F87" /&gt; &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/spacerasnexttextviewclasheswithbg" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" /&gt; &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/textview1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center" android:text="@string/stringloggedinscreen" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" android:textColor="#003F87" /&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/buttonsignin" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center" android:text="@string/stringbuttonsignin" /&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/buttongetrota" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center" android:text="@string/stringbuttongetrota" /&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/buttongetphonenumbers" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center" android:text="@string/stringbuttongetphonenumbers" /&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/viewtransactionsactual" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center" android:text="View Transactions" /&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/buttondeletecarertable" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center" android:text="@string/stringbuttondeletetable" /&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/buttonloadtransactionsmap" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center" android:text="@string/stringloadtransactionmap" /&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/buttonloneworker" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center" android:text="@string/buttonloneworker" /&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/buttonsendOutstandingTransactions" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center" android:text="@string/stringSendOutstandingTransactions" /&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/buttoncreatemanuallogout" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center" android:text="@string/stringbuttoncreatemanuallogout" /&gt; &lt;RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" &gt; &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/textViewYouAreSignedIn" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_centerInParent="true" android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" android:textColor="#FFFFFF" /&gt; &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/textViewUnsentTransactions" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_centerInParent="true" android:layout_below="@id/textViewYouAreSignedIn" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" android:textColor="#FFFFFF" /&gt; &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/textViewVersionmenuscreen" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/stringtextviewversion" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"/&gt; &lt;/RelativeLayout&gt; &lt;/LinearLay </code></pre> <p>out></p>
