I have made an app and when I use it in my emulator then it was working fine there , the design was also good but when I have converted to apk and used in my phone and my parents phone I found my widgets messed up , some text automatically changed their size , framelayout changed its position etc. I have searched for the solution in some websites and they have suggested to use constraint layout but after using that also I am suffering from the same problem

What I have tried:

To fit my app and its layout in every type of screen

Check the Android documentation for automatic scaling.

Can you use Google?

Member 14883729 22-Jul-20 7:15am

Sir actually I have Google and they have suggested to use either constraint layout or relative layout and I have used both of them

Then do what I previously suggested and go and study the Android documentation: Android Developers: Design for Android[^].

This is normal and expected behavior. Layouts are supposed to acclimate/adjust themselves to the various screen sizes, densities, pixels, DPI, etc. Otherwise, you'd have to make a layout for each and every combination.

Now, if something else is going on, you need to explain in more detail exactly what is happening so that we can offer better suggestions.

Is there any other solution because I don't have that much of time to make layout for every type of screen

"...I don't have that much of time to make layout for every type of screen"

You're not supposed to, unless you need to make a specific layout for large or high-density screens, or for when the orientation changes. Other than that, most layouts will work across all screens. If not, then you need to explain in more detail exactly what is happening so that we can offer better suggestions.

Quote:
The design editor can preview your layout on different Android devices and versions, and you can dynamically resize the layout to be sure it works well on different screen sizes.
