Android responsive layout
android, android-layout, android-resolution, android-tablelayout
Solution
Over and all, you need to create different layouts/drawable for supporting all the screens. It depends on your requirement, say for example, if you would want to include 2 buttons in small screen and 4 buttons on large screens then obvious you have to create different layouts.
If you would want to display same number of buttons in all screens then I would suggest you to prepare different set of images/drawables and include them in your project. here you don't need to do anything other than placing images in particular drawable folders.
One more thing, If its a plain background then you can create 9-patch image so that it can stretch with whatever size you want or your device supports.

Problem
I am building application (calculator). I use table layout with buttons inside. It looks perfect on screen of Samsung Galaxy II, however it looks very bad on bigger screens. The buttons hight is very small. How I can stretch the buttons on bigger screens? The layout XML is bellow: ``` <ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.an xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/ android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:gravity="right" android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_v android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_hor android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_ho android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vert
