    <p>I am using eclipse I have views with images and buttons with their width and height set in dp:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Button android:id="@+id/btn_menu_games" android:layout_width="70dp" android:layout_height="70dp" android:layout_gravity="center" android:background="@drawable/ico_games" android:onClick="goToGames" /&gt; </code></pre> <p>But when I use a different device the images and buttons do not scale relative to the screen, so they are really big on a small screen and really small on a big screen. Am I doing something wrong in the view? Do I need to set anything in the Manifest?</p> <p>Thanks.</p> <p>Full code:</p> <pre><code> &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:background="@drawable/bg_portrait" android:gravity="center_horizontal" android:orientation="vertical" &gt; &lt;ImageView android:id="@+id/imageView1" android:layout_width="234dp" android:layout_height="156dp" android:layout_marginBottom="15dp" android:layout_marginLeft="20dp" android:layout_marginRight="20dp" android:layout_marginTop="10dp" android:src="@drawable/flag" /&gt; &lt;LinearLayout android:id="@+id/linearLayout1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" &gt; &lt;LinearLayout android:id="@+id/linearLayout2" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_marginRight="20dp" &gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/btn_menu_games" android:layout_width="70dp" android:layout_height="70dp" android:layout_gravity="center" android:background="@drawable/ico_games" android:onClick="goToGames" /&gt; &lt;com.academyGeneric.MyTextView android:id="@+id/textView1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center" android:textColor="#8c0101" android:text="Games" android:layout_marginBottom="5dp" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" /&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/btn_menu_lessons" android:layout_width="70dp" android:layout_height="70dp" android:layout_gravity="center" android:background="@drawable/ico_lessons" /&gt; &lt;com.academyGeneric.MyTextView android:id="@+id/textView2" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center" android:text="Lessons" android:layout_marginBottom="5dp" android:textColor="#8c0101" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" /&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/btn_menu_settings" android:layout_width="70dp" android:layout_height="70dp" android:layout_gravity="center" android:background="@drawable/ico_settings" android:onClick="goToSettings" /&gt; &lt;com.academyGeneric.MyTextView android:id="@+id/textView3" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center" android:text="Settings" android:textColor="#8c0101" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" /&gt; &lt;/LinearLayout&gt; &lt;LinearLayout android:id="@+id/linearLayout2" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_marginLeft="20dp" &gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/btn_menu_dictionary" android:layout_width="70dp" android:layout_height="70dp" android:layout_gravity="center" android:background="@drawable/ico_dictionary" android:onClick="goToDictionary" /&gt; &lt;com.academyGeneric.MyTextView android:id="@+id/textView4" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center" android:text="Dictionary" android:layout_marginBottom="5dp" android:textColor="#8c0101" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" /&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/btn_menu_statistics" android:layout_width="70dp" android:layout_height="70dp" android:layout_gravity="center" android:background="@drawable/ico_stats" /&gt; &lt;com.academyGeneric.MyTextView android:id="@+id/textView5" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center" android:text="Statistics" android:layout_marginBottom="5dp" android:textColor="#8c0101" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" /&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/close" android:layout_width="70dp" android:layout_height="70dp" android:layout_gravity="center" android:background="@drawable/ico_exit" android:onClick="exit" /&gt; &lt;com.academyGeneric.MyTextView android:id="@+id/textView6" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center" android:text="Exit" android:textColor="#8c0101" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" /&gt; &lt;/LinearLayout&gt; &lt;/LinearLayout&gt; &lt;/LinearLayout&gt; </code></pre>

    3. CO"dp" doesn't mean "scale to look the same in all devices". It means something closer to "the button will be more or less the same size on the phone as in a tablet".

Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
