I am new in android, and want to design the layout which run in all screens resolution of the android devise ? Is their any way to do this ?
thanks in advance
yes there are way but you will have to take care of few thing..
dont fix the size of Layout always use fill-parent for layout and for view always use wrap_content
2: in drawable folder use proper image because proper image called from the drawable folder according to file sie
3.if you face some layout still on not there place then crate layout folder like values-sw600dp values-sw720dp-land according to you need.

I have been seeing, that to support different screen sizes, you have to use Constraint Layout. Is it possible to achieve this support on different screen sizes without using Constraint Layout? If so, is there a document or video where I can see how to do it?
I do not think there is another better way to do this. Anyway the constraint layout it's not that hard to find out if you really care about it 😁
I am not sure about this but you can create a new resource directory from the res directory in android studio. There you can add your screen's height and width and create a new layout folder. Create a layout directory as per your need and create designs as per screen sizes.
If you do not want to use a constraint layout then I think you can apply it this way. I will suggest you that go for the smart way then this hard way.
I have a doubt. If i have one single xml file let's say res folder--> layout folder--> my.xml. i want to display this my.xml to all multiple screen size without creating layout-mdpi, layout-hdpi etc.., May i know what is the simple and best way to achieve this concept ??
Thanks in advance
Place the file at res\layout\my.xml
Every single device will get that layout by default unless you create an alternative.
If you have a single layout file in the default location (res/layout/my.xml), then it will be used on all the devices that your app can be installed on.
However, that's usually not what you want because it will look very different on a device with a different size than what you developed on. To handle this, you can start by creating another layout file in another directory (res/layout-sw600dp/my.xml). This layout would be used for devices where the smallest width (sw) is 600dp, ie, tablets.
consider a requirement of an app which need to be run on different screen sizes. lets say app has text fields ediboxes list view etc... and in each screen size the width/height of each ui component has to vary. how to desing an UI for this kind of requirement. please suggest.
Use Width and Height as fill_Parent or wrap_content..
if you are using images make different sizes images and put it in drawable-hdpi,drawable-ldpi,xhdpi,xxhdpi.The Sizes for those imagaes are in developer.android.com
In the res folder,there exists folder named layout,that the default folder which the system find the layout defination.But people also can make other folder like
layout-480x800
layout-1024x768
and so on ,and put the layout files in it.
When the app run on a device which have the certain size,the app will auto find the layout defination in the same folder,if cant it will use the default defination.
I want to create an app with pixel-perfect graphics for each resolution (I'm going to support only 3 or 4 of them). In my main activity I created new layout and selected 800x600 from available qualifiers. I edited it and then I created folder "layout-1280x720" for another resolution. I copied activity_main.xml from "layout-800x600" to "layout-1280x720" and edited new copy. But now when I run it in android emulator at 1280x720 I see layout from 800x600.
How can I create different layouts for each exact resolution?

You can see there a proper approach for your issue.
It's actually close to impossible to do that, because android doesn't have percent dimensions, of course you can use weight coefficients, but it won't be the solution. I will recommend you to use this app, which overlays your template over everything. It makes layout creating much easier and faster.
I want to design app in which i am using one xml layout,I want to use that layout for every device but i dont want to create new folders for small,large or extra large images in drawable.
how we can design one layout which is fit to all devices without creating images for ldpi,mdpi,hdpi?
Thanks in advance!
just put that layout in the 'layout' folder and your image in 'drawable' folder, one place no more :)
Android system will auto scale resource for you. But the UI will look bad.
