My problem is very simple. I have a button that have 100dp marginRight and 100dp marginTop in a xxhdpi density screen. The problem is, when I change to another density screen or size, the button its not in position I want. It remains the 100dp margin top and right but I don’t won’t this. I thought that if I use dp, when I change screen it’s was going to be in the position I want, calculate de position in smaller or bigger screens. I hope you understand, I don’t want to create a layout for every density or size screen. How can position a button that be in the same position in every screen?

Not clear what you're asking, but it would be helpful to read up on what a dp is http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html – tachyonflux May 20 '15 at 19:27

on a different screen density that 100dp will change position. what you can do is support multiple size and create different layout for each.
read http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html.
Using the new size qualifiers is a solution.
