I am developing a native Android application, how to maintain same design, font size, layout style in all android device including tablet also.
Both devices have different resolution, because of which the UI seemed different in two different devices. In Android Studio layout preview change the device size and resolution to see how your app looks on different screen sizes and resolutions.

i need that my app Android will be supported by 2 devices phone and tablet .
i can find library to integer in my app and supported all screen size.
Thanks
I am assuming you want to support multiple screen sizes for your app. You can refer to this guide from Android Developers. Tl;dr you should make your layouts as flexible as possible. That includes but not limited to
Use ConstraintLayout to define the percentage of screen covered by a component, ratio of sizes etc etc
Avoid using hardcoded values(like layout_width="100dp" etc)
Also for a tablet, you must design an alternative layout which can take advantage of the larger screen in landscape mode
I have problem in Android app.
My layouts don't working correctly on 480*800 screens
On HD, Full HD and qHD it working correctly
For example my axml code:

How can I make it working correctly
Both the Xamarin Android designer and Android Studio(which many use for UI design) have a dropdown for different device layouts. This should help with at least visually looking at the app on lower resolution phones.
You could also use a screen density specific layout, where a specific layout is created for the smaller phone screen sizes(like 480x800).
https://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html
See the section on "Using new size qualifiers"
I have two sizes of 5.1 inches, a 4-inch for 480x800.
When I design in 5.1 screen and run with 4 inch screen, I have some trouble that some button missed position on screen.
I designed by layout.
Android runs on a variety of devices that offer different screen sizes
and densities. For applications, the Android system provides a
consistent development environment across devices and handles most of
the work to adjust each application's user interface to the screen on
which it is displayed.

Place your view inside a <ScrollView>. Doing so will mean users with smaller devices will be able to scroll the view if it is too large.
I have that problem:
i have two layout folders layout-small and layout
When i change rendering device on preview when editing layout to Nexus S (It have "normal" screen) Android studio will open the layout-small and let me edit small screen layout which is displayed on Nexus S.
Same issues with other "normal" screen devices
thank you for your answers.
I had the same problem.
Try to rename your "layout" in "layout-normal". In this way Android Studio recognizes the right layout type for "normal-sized" devices and assigns the "layout-small" just to Android Wear devices.
My advice to set a well formatted "layout-normal" is to design it on the smallest device available for "layout-normal" (Nexus One 3,7").
From android documentation: Supporting Multiple Screens
As you can see in this image, a device's actual size is not certain to belong to either small or normal. Some sizes belong to both categories. Also please note that on android's manifest setting targetSdk may affect the judgement.
I have been working with programmatic layout in Android Studio and i have a problem:
AVD always uses normal layout even if i use Nexus 7 which has "large" screen as its property
it is not code problem, since when i plug in my tablet it uses large layout and works fine
Any ideas where the problem might come from?
Well you are right in some sense android should take layout dependent on different densities but some mobile do not fall under specific density. Therefore android will pick up default layout from layout directory.
to support multiple screen resolution provide different layout for different screen sizes, you can make following directories in res directory like this
layout-hdpi
layout-mdpi
layout-xhdpi
layout-xxhdpi
layout-w320dp-h408dp
layout-w480dp-h800dp
layout-w480dp-h854dp
layout-w720dp-h1280dp
layout-w1080dp-h1920dp
layout-w1440dp-h2560dp
when you provide layout in all this directories you will give multiple screen support for different sizes as well
