the best practice in designing your layouts is to use attributes like Fill_Parent, Wrap_Content , Match_Parent.

Try avoiding the use of explicitly defining the layout sizes and dimensions.

if you really want to do this way, you can define layouts for different screen sizes separately, and place them in their respective folders correspondingly.
