I have implemented a dialog but I cannot get the dialog to occupy a larger width of the screen. Is this a problem with my XML?
XML:

I can enlarge the dialog by setting the layout_width of the buttons to e.g. 200px but ideally I would like a better means of using up more screen space without specifying absolute pixel sizes. How can I do this?
For example, how can I tell the dialog box to size to perhaps 60% of the screen width?

Am having an issue how to appropriate set my scorll view for my two TextView Peaks and Peak_index. Basically they are filling all my custom dailog and not showing the delete button and cancel button. I want the scrollView for both my results at Peaks and Peak_index, but the scrollView is effecting on the two button and not showing on the dialog. What should I do in this case? Also the peaks are taking so much space from the dialog. why is that?. http://postimg.org/image/pk3qluwut/

This is because scrollview height is match parent, it should be wrap_content or 0 or fixed value.

If you want to support different screens then you need to provide images and values according to the screens.
Create values and drawable for each screen sizes. Specify your height and width in values folder if you want to use custom otherwise make it as match_parent and wrap_content.
You need to create four folder
values-ldpi // Small Screens
values-mdpi // Medium Screens
values-hdpi // Large Screens
values-xhdpi // Xtra Large Screens
Also you need to use correct image sizes. For sizes please check Android Support Mulitple Screens
try this code:
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/bottom_layout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#layout/footer_color"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true">

It is not your fault, default background of Spinner has this kind of image (transparent padding around it). You can see yourself by setting android:background="#ffffff" on Spinner, doing this will remove padding from Spinner's sides and your problem will solve but you will loose Spinner arrow. I suggest you to create your own drawable for Spinner (because you are changing backgrounds of other View) otherwise default background is different for different OS versions and your implementation will seem broke.
Also you are using so many LinerLayouts for this simple layout. Consider this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"

android:layout_gravity="left"
android:text="Login" />
</LinearLayout>

Adjust your references again, in case you copy paste my code.
Actually you did code right. It just seem like its not same size with EditText box because you used default background in spinner.
If you changed its background color or image like
android:background="#android:color/darker_gray"
And you can change its background image
android:background="#drawable/spinnerDropDownBackground"
And make sure image is 9 path So that it will not starched in big screen
How to create 9 patch for spinner ?
you will find that you did code right.
And if you want to use default background you have to change your code
android:layout_marginRight="40dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="40dp"
Hope this will help
I have a linearLayout which is surrounded by a scrollView in order to make it for smaller screens scrollable. In the linear layout I have 3 childs which are also linearlayout.
This is working fine. But I also want to support larger screens. At the moment I get with a larger screen space left on the bottom of the screen. I want to have the buttons (navigation bar) be always at the bottom. for larger screens (height) I would like to add at the top of the screen an empty view which fills out the space that is more provided by the larger screen.
How can I achieve that? i tried a lot with weight attribute but didnt get it working.

</ScrollView>
Wrap the entire layout in a Relative Layout. Use a relative layout as your root element and set the Linear Layout containing your buttons to layout_alignParentBottom="true" and the ScrollView set to layout_alignParentTop="true".
The LinearLayout containing the buttons and the ScrollView should be direct children of the RelativeLayout.
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<LinearLayout <-- containing the layout minus the buttons
android:id="#+id/SV"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true">
<The Rest Of The Layout>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/LLButtons"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true">
<Buttons>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
If you want the buttons to be always at the bottom of the screen alignParentBottom. If you want the buttons to always be at the bottom of the scrollview alignBelow="#id/SV"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" in your inner LinearLayout is your trouble here, changing it to 'fill_parent' should help. In general, you may want to use hierarchyviewer to help troubleshoot layout issues like this.
What I just want to do it to put some texts in the screen, together with a border that I'm doing(this border will be in the entire screen.)
The problem is that the LinearLayout is adding some texts to outside of the screen, and this I cannot understand why. Why the LinearLayout cannot just keep the elements in the screen size, even if will be very small sizes.
Take a look:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:background="#color/White">
<ImageView android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:minHeight="2px" android:maxHeight="2px"
android:layout_gravity="top" android:src="#drawable/horizontal_bar"
android:scaleType="fitXY" android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" />
<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1">
<ImageView android:src="#drawable/vertical_bar"
android:minWidth="2px" android:maxWidth="2px" android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:layout_gravity="left" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1" />
<TextView android:text="testing" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:paddingLeft="15px"
android:textStyle="bold" android:textColor="#color/grey"
android:textSize="20px" android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|center" />
<TextView android:text="blablabla" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:paddingLeft="15px"
android:textStyle="bold" android:textColor="#color/grey"
android:textSize="20px" android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|center" />
<TextView android:text="0000" android:id="#+id/number"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_gravity="left" android:textStyle="bold"
android:textColor="#color/green" android:textSize="20px"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<ImageView android:src="#drawable/vertical_bar"
android:minWidth="2px" android:maxWidth="2px" android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:layout_gravity="right" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1" />
</LinearLayout>
<ImageView android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:minHeight="2px" android:maxHeight="2px"
android:layout_gravity="top" android:src="#drawable/horizontal_bar"
android:scaleType="fitXY" android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" />
</LinearLayout>
Where horizontal_bar is a image with 6x4 and vertical_bar is a image with 4x6.
This image needs to be stretch to be able to became a border.
Any idea why the LinearLayout is going out of the screen size?
Your
<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1">
should have vertical orientation.
