Can you post some screen shots of the layouts? That would help. As far as I can tell, it's the expected behaviour. Say, you have this layout.
Button(100dip) TextView(100dip) EditText(100dip) On different devices, these dips will be converted to different pixel values at runtime, and thus, their actual length(say in inches) will definitely vary. Having different layouts is a different point altogether. On Nov 11, 12:15 pm, swaps12 <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I am trying to develop an app for which I want multiple screen > support.
