Layout for different size screens (Android)
I'm working on an app, it looks great on 7" devices (Nexus and Dell streak 7). I created the images from different densities, so it looks good.
However, when I try to run the app on my phone (Samsung Galaxy 2) or Tablet 10" it doesn't look good at all.
Here is how it looks on the nexus 7":
Here is how it looks on the Galaxy 2 phone:
Here is how it looks on the 10" Tablet:
Here is my layout:

Solution
OK after seing your layout file, I think you should do one of the following things:
- Use a GridView
- Use ImageView instead of ImageButtons
Using GridView can save you a lot of work. Take a look at this website and you might find what you need: http://www.androidviews.net/
If you chose to use ImageViews, you should set the following preferences:
adjustViewBounds="true"
scaleType="centerInside"
That way your images will keep their ratio.
