I'm trying to center a button in the middle of other two buttons. I tried using weight but with no luck (Android Studio keep saying that there's an error), using layout_marginRight is not a good idea because it's not resolution independent.
Here's my XML code I hope it can help you understanding my problem.

To keep all the buttons in of same size you need to to keep the width attribute to "fill_parent". Below is the working xml. weightsum should be equal to the number of buttons you want to use.
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:weightSum="4">
<Button
android:id="#+id/button1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Button" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button2"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Button" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button3"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Button" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button4"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Button" />
</LinearLayout>
Use Linear layout then you include "WEIGHT"to your Button,because weight belongs to linearlayout.

I am trying to make the image button fix completely on the screen and the spinner. It seems to have a problem with the weight sum and weight layout. I have tried to fix it, but haven't gotten anywhere. This is my code:

It is very bad practice to use the weight option, especially if you have weight options in deep hierarchy of layout. For your example you need to use RelativeLayout or even TableLayout.
But if you want a mess up for your bottom part you can use tricky thing like:
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
>
<View android:id="#+id/strut"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/text1"
android:layout_alignEnd="#id/strut"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignStart="#+id/strut"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
android:text="#string/text2"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
I just want to use multiple layout in a single xml file.I have attached my code below. In that there will be an absolute layout that should be under Horizontal scroll. As a beginner I don't know how to implement it

Thank you in advance
Not sure whether your looking for this alignment but i just gave a shot..... whenever you wish to fix layout at the bottom of screen make sure you use weight property i.e if you want fix button at the bottom of screen then put android:layout_height = "0dp" and layout_weight="1" for other major layout in the xml and to button which has to be fixed at the bottom use android:layout_height="wrap_content" and layout_weight = "0" that's all is the trick (sorry if i have made it hard to understand... just simply saying play with weight and height property)

Yes, you can use use multiple layouts in single XML using the <include>.
Here is a example for that:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#color/app_background"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<include layout="#layout/actionbar_main" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/img_rest_pic"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight=".35"
android:src="#drawable/upload_image" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
The actionbar_main.xml file is in different XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?android:attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="#drawable/navbar_txt"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/ibtn_action_back"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:background="#null"
android:src="#drawable/navbar_back" />
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/ibtn_action_settings"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignTop="#+id/ibtn_action_back"
android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
android:background="#null"
android:src="#drawable/nacbar_setting" />
<View
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="1dp"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:background="#color/white" />
</RelativeLayout>
Am developing an application for 21.5 screen android device. I have tried the code below and testing in the 10 inch emulator. its looking good. but i want to know whether is it good to use the relative layout or linear layout with weight. Because i don't want the blank space below the layout when it appears in 21,5 inch screen. Please suggest.
My layout code.
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >

Try this way,hope this will help you to solve your problem.
Here use LinearLayout with weight instead of Relativelayout.

i am trying to align the page for different screens namely 4.5inch(xperia ion) and 4inch(s advance) it works with s advance.. but in xperia ion screen it breaks..
the emulator image of both xperia ion and s advance...
i stretched the buttons to avoid mistakes.. but yet when it comes to services.. the system fails... the big buttons on top and bottom are buffer buttons.. they are meant to simply align the rest..

is there any other way to do it???? without buffer buttons
// Try this way,hope this will help you to solve your problem...
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<Button
android:id="#+id/btnBufferTop"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="130dp"
android:text="Button" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/btnBufferBottom"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="60dp"
android:text="Button" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Button" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Button" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button3"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Button" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button4"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Button" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button5"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="14dp"
android:text="Button" />
</LinearLayout>
its better to go with linear layout with weights.as weights device each screen in equal parts.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:weightSum= 2
android:orientation="vertical">
<Button
android:id="#+id/btnBufferTop"
android: layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:text="Button" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/btnBufferBottom"
android: layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:text="Button" />
</LinearLayout>
If the space between the buttons are the issue, thenTry android:layout_marginTop=""
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#android:color/white"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:gravity="center">
<Button
android:id="#+id/okbutton"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="SET"
/>
</LinearLayout>

I seem to be having trouble using relative links to display buttons. They stick together, like buttons overriding each other, and I've tried to get them to not stick, but to no avail.
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:background="#drawable/formation"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<Button
android:layout_weight="1.0"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/Laws" />
<Button
android:layout_weight="1.0"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Qualifications of a naval officer" />
<Button
android:layout_weight="1.0"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Code of Conduct" />
</RelativeLayout>
while creating any xml file, keep in mind that every widget is unique by its id, so first of all you have to assign id to each widget.
Now, here you are using Relative Layout. so every widget you added here will relate to each other.
Now see this code, i did change in your code.
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:background="#drawable/formation"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn1"
android:layout_weight="1.0"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/Laws" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn2"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:layout_below="#+id/btn1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Qualifications of a naval officer" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn3"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:layout_below="#+id/btn2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Code of Conduct" />
</RelativeLayout>
So all button will display one by one.
This will put things one next to other side ways.
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:background="#drawable/formation"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/button1"
android:layout_weight="1.0"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/Laws" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button2"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/button1"
android:layout_weight="1.0"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Qualifications of a naval officer" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button3"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/button2"
android:layout_weight="1.0"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Code of Conduct" />
</RelativeLayout>
Try this
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#drawable/formation" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/button1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:text="#string/Laws" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/button1"
android:text="Code of Conduct" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/button2"
android:text="Qualifications of a naval officer" />
</RelativeLayout>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#color/white" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Laws" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/btn1"
android:text="Code of Conduct" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/btn2"
android:text="Qualifications of a naval officer" />
