Using two different layouts might work for the current default screen resolution. In order to make your app play nice with other screen resolutions, too, you should take the time and make your layout scale well, either by using relative measures or by wrapping it into a ScrollView, as suggested.
The outer ScrollView should have android:width="fill_parent" and android:height="fill_parent". The inner LinearLayout should have android:width="fill_parent" and android:height="wrap_content". Please post excerpts of your layout file so we can see what's wrong.
