This can be because you’re specifying device points and so the whole layout becomes dependent on your device screen size. And so if your two devices have different screen sizes you see the difference. It’s generally not recommended to use device points in layouts you may want to use gravity, alignments and weights instead. Especially in TableLayouts you don’t really need device points or so it seems
