I wouldn’t say my app is text heavy…but it displays random strings sometimes that are longer than others. They fit fine on my droid 2, but I know they won’t display the same on smaller droids. Does anyone know the proper way of formatting different sized text to ensure it will work on all androids?

    If you just want to make some text bigger or smaller you should prefer using default styles provided by Android:

    <TextView ... android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
<TextView ... android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />
<TextView ... android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall" />

    Neither of them is default, default is:

    <TextView ... android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearance" />

    It can be surely applied not only to TextView, but to other views as well.
