I am using Grid Layout from v7 support library to create a Grid Layout in android. The Layout builds perfectly fine on larger screen devices(screen sizes > 4"), which I confirmed from previewing screens in android studio. But the layout distorts badly on smaller screen devices (checked on a real device too) with only the first row being visible till the end the screen. Following are the screenshots:
On a small screen device (Galaxy S in this case)
On a larger screen device (5.1" in this case)
Below is the code for the same:

Help in this regard, to solve compatibility issue on small devices would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
This is my approach using LinearLayouts with weights
