Trying to understand Android layouts, image sizes and relations

I'm developing apps for android since over a year now with success, but one thing is still a problem for me:
How to design a layout with a combination of TextViews, ImageViews and Buttons while retaining the relation between each elements on different screen sizes.
I want to build a layout like this:
It's for a listview, so many of these layouts are used. The app has a different layout for smartphones and tablets.
So the orange button on the right should always have 3 lines of text but should still have a maximum width, the image on the left should have the same height as the button on the right. The 3 lines of text in the middle should take up as many space as they can. The star image should have the same hight as the text on their right.
I've managed to build a similar test layout with a TableLayout, here are the previews from AndroidStudio:
Nexus S
Nexus 6
On the Nexus S screen size, the layout is OK but on bigger screens it's ugly. The button is too small, the image on the left is also too small.
Here is the code for my test layout:
<TableLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:stretchColumns="1"
>
<TableRow android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/iv1"
android:layout_width="80dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:contentDescription="#string/dummy"
android:padding="#dimen/raster4dp"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:src="#drawable/avatar_1" />
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tv1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="some nice text here"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
/>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/iv2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#id/tv1"
android:src="#drawable/ic_male_user_bw"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tv2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="more nice text"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/iv2"
android:layout_alignBottom="#id/iv2"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
/>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/iv3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#id/iv2"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:src="#drawable/ic_male_user_bw"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tv3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="more nice text"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/iv3"
android:layout_alignBottom="#id/iv3"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn1"
android:layout_width="80dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/button_dropshadow_black_xml"
android:text="Line1\nLine2\nLine3"
android:textColor="#android:color/white" />
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
So hopefully my question is not too silly, but i have some problems understanding how to fix this. Currently I'm using a width of fixed 80dp on the button and the image to the left. I think this is not realy the way it works on Android.
What sizes do i need to use here, what kind of layouts?
The sections about sreensizes etc. on the developer site is known by me (https://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html) but it wasn't that helpful to me.
Thanks for help! :)

Each terminal has different dimensions. If you put a button that has a size of 80dp, when other terminal screen is larger, that button is going to be smaller compared to the terminal screen you were doing the tests.
You should play with WEIGHT.

|_____________|_________________________|____________|
0.3 0.5 0.2 0.3 + 0.5 + 0.2 = 1 <-Weight.
Read this, will help.
Also there's a question similar to yours, check it too.

DP is for setting a fixed amount of pixels, if you don't want to consider the pixel density of your device's screen. This lets you that a button would be shown with the same size in a Nexus 4,5 or in a Samsung Galaxy Mini.
The same "absolute" size. This means that if your image is too big, it could fit in Nexus, but no in the other because of its smaller screen. This is due to the fact that it does not depend on the screen size, neither the pixel density.
What I hardly recommend you is the use of LinearLayouts (with their attribute weight) and RelativeLayouts as direct children (in case you need them). This could be "the same" (not exactly) than the use of "%" in CSS.
Here, you can see an example of weight attribute (The second answer gives you more tips).

check this .... increase parent layout height if needed:

Navigation Drawer with header in Android

Using the help of http://www.learn2crack.com/2014/06/android-sliding-navigation-drawer-example.html
I managed to get my navigation drawer working. I have also added a header to my Drawer. In my header, I have a Imageview, two TextView
The data is showing up properly, but for some reason the UI is different in each phone. The image is getting cut or the background image is showing up big.
Here is the screen shot of Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 5 I have tested:
Nexus 5
Galaxy Nexus
Here is the header XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/LinearTotalLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/backgroundforprofile"
android:baselineAligned="false"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/LinearLayoutforImage"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight=".30"
android:padding="10dp" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageforprofile"
android:layout_width="45dp"
android:layout_height="45dp"
android:src="#drawable/profilepic" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout

android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="left|center"
android:layout_weight=".70"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textforprofile"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="left"
android:text="Joe David"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
android:textStyle="bold" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textforprofileemail"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="left"
android:text="JoeDavidJoeDavi#joedavidjoedavid.com"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
android:textStyle="bold" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
Can somebody help me fix this issue?
Thanks!
Update
As per advice from #Rohan Pawar and #westito I change the layout to relative The ImageView is not getting cut and text is coming out properly, but the background image is still a difference in Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 5. Please see my screenshot below.
Galaxy Nexus
Nexus 5
Here is my XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:layout_width="45dp"
android:layout_height="45dp"
android:paddingLeft="5dp"
android:paddingTop="10dp"
android:src="#drawable/profilepic" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textforprofile"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/imageforprofile"
android:gravity="left"

android:text="developer#sybershocknetworks.com"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"

</RelativeLayout>

The problem is your layout. Instead of LinearLayouts, try using RelativeLayout. It is more efficient for this layout.
<RelativeLayout>
<ImageView id="#+id/image" />
<TextView layout_toRightOf="#+id/image" />
</RelativeLayout>
This is a "pseudo" sample. You can position your TextView next to ImageView

#TheDevMan i have both devices Nexus 5 and Galaxy nexus, i have tested out your code works on both device perfectly
Samsung Galaxy Nexus = 720 x 1280 pixels, 4.65 inches (~316 ppi pixel density)
LG Nexus 5= 1080 x 1920 pixels, 4.95 inches (~445 ppi pixel density)
but i dont have your background image to test

try this for your header & customize it as you want it will work for sure
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"

Android UI scaling strange?

The UI in our app does not scale properly in different phones. The screenshots below are from Samsung 2 and Xperia Z1 Compact. Both phones are using medium sized screens so thereby I thought the black navigation-bar introduced since API 14 caused the scaling problem. I added the following code to my project but the outcome was still the same:
mMainView.setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION);//sets the layout as if the navigation bar is hidden (even if it’s not)
mMainView.setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE);//help your app maintain a stable layout.
= Xperia Z1 Compact
=
Samsung 2
As you can see in screen captures the height is not what it is supposed to be in Xperia (We want the UI to scale as it does in Samsung 2). The text is smaller in Xperia, our logo is smaller (mostly on the height) and so on. It seems like the Xperia UI has a wider width or? What may cause this if it is not the navigation bar? I will post the XML-file aswell even if I am 99% sure there is nothing wrong with it:

These two devices may not have exactly the same width in DP units.
Assuming you are talking about the Galaxy S2:
They both have approximately the same size screen. However, the S2 is 217ppi, which is toward the low end of the hdpi bucket, while the Xperia is 342ppi, which is toward the high end of the xhdpi bucket. It is because of where they fall within their own density buckets that they scale somewhat differently, and there's not much you can do about this.
DP and SP units only ensure that your elements are approximately the same size on all devices.
Think about older versions of Windows you may have used, where apps ignored dpi of the monitor. If you used a monitor with a higher dpi, you simply saw smaller text. This is like all monitors were in the same dpi bucket.
Android's multiple dpi buckets help support a much wider range of screen densities, but you still get the same effect as you do in Windows when comparing devices that are at different ends of their respective dpi buckets.
iOS doesn't have this problem because each "bucket" corresponds with exactly one dpi, not a range of dpi.

How to make my layout fit in all screens

I have gone through many relative answers on stockoverflow and link's such as Supporting Different Screens or Screen Compatibility Mode
I have created the following relative layout and I am trying to make it look alike in all android screens.
My images fit perfect for 4.8 inch phones but when I try to use a 2.8 inch display or something like like that, some buttons go on top of others, and they do not shrink.
Does anyone have any suggestion how to improve that?
And preferably without increasing the size of my app.
Thanks in advance!

I will suggest you to use LinearLayout instead of Relativelayout specially for the issue :
My images fit perfect for 4.8 inch phones but when I try to use a 2.8
inch display or something like like that, some buttons go on top of
others, and they do not shrink.
Because When you give orientation to Linearlayout then Its child will never get on top of each other for any resolution or screen size.
And If you give them Weight then Views will be in fix position for Each and Every device.
For example Put below Xml in your project and Check this out in Any resolution, It will give the same Result.
XML:

</FrameLayout>
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/outboxLargeButton"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1">
<ImageView android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ourbox_normal"
android:id="#+id/buttonShareFavoriteRecipe"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal">
</ImageView>
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="0296"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:gravity="center"
android:textColor="#fff"
android:textSize="50dp" />
</FrameLayout>
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
In ldpi, its also showing extra padding between rows in subsecuent rows of images.
Any help?

As per earlier comment:
It's not unlikely the images are larger than visually required on ldpi, resulting in a scale down. By default, the bounds of the view do not change when downscaling. Try setting android:adjustViewBounds="true" to the ImageViews.
