Question

I used relativelayout and here is what I’ve got. I can’t get the image to fill the section I want. I don’t know how to fix it. I’ve heard something about using layout weight, is that some thing I should use?

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" 
android:background="@drawable/background">


<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/imagehome"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
    android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
    android:layout_margin="10dp"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:layout_above="@+id/tvtitle1"
    android:src="@drawable/one" />

   <TextView
        android:id="@+id/tvtitle1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"         
        android:gravity="center_vertical"
        android:text="Voted Best Dentist five years running by"
        android:textSize="16dp"
        android:textColor="#9D4F1B"
        android:layout_above="@+id/tvtitle2"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_marginBottom="6dp"/>


   <TextView
        android:id="@+id/tvtitle2"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:gravity="center_vertical"
        android:text="The Oakland Tribune"
        android:textSize="16dp"
        android:textColor="#9D4F1B"
        android:layout_above="@+id/tvhome"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_marginBottom="15dp"/>

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/tvhome"
        android:layout_width="280dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:gravity="center_vertical"
        android:text="     You&apos;ll be cared for by our highly trained staff of dental professionals,energized to work as a team while providing the highest quality of care for your dental health.

        android:textColor="#4C2016"
        android:textSize="15dp"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_above="@+id/special"
        android:layout_marginBottom="25dp" />


    <Button
        android:id="@+id/special"
        android:layout_width="120dp"
        android:layout_height="40dp"
        android:background="@drawable/cc"
        android:text="Specials"
        android:textColor="#F6E6C6"
        android:textSize="17dp"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_above="@+id/tvbutton"
        android:layout_marginBottom="15dp" />


    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/tvbutton"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="App provided by Bay Area Dental Marketing"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:textSize="10dp"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />



 </RelativeLayout>

on the xml file,

and on the device

It got better but it’snot there yet!

When working with multiple screen sizes, I have found it best practice to either (a) use RelativeLayout, or (b) set a LinearLayout inside a ScrollView.
