Autosizing default shapes

Question

I need my app shows a white rectangle from below by clicking a button. Is there a way to set its size and padding automatically, so it can fill perfectly on all type of devices? This is my XML code, that permits a rectangle to slide from below:

XML:

<ImageView 
  android:id="@+id/viewtab"
  android:layout_width="359dp"    <!-- I'd like it autosized with padding-->
  android:layout_height="75dp" /> <!-- I'd like it autosized with padding-->

Java:

Vtab = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.viewtab);
Vtab.setVisibility(VISIBLE);

Yes you can add one library like

add below dependency into app level gradle file ..

implementation 'com.intuit.sdp:sdp-android:1.0.4'

then after give size like below code ..

    <ImageView
    android:id="@+id/viewtab"
    android:layout_width="@dimen/_359sdp"
android:layout_height="@dimen/_75sdp" />

then same size all device.

Shortcut:

May be you can try below library which manages all the screen size resolution automatically.

compile 'com.intuit.sdp:sdp-android:1.0.4'

You need to just add the dependency in your build.gradle file and you are done.

You need to specify like:

android:layout_height="@dimen/_10sdp"

Instead of:

android:layout_height="@dimen/10sdp"

Second way:

Using Android PercentRelativeLayout like

<android.support.percent.PercentRelativeLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/viewtab"
        android:layout_width="80%"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="50%"
        android:layout_height="0dp"/>

</android.support.percent.PercentRelative

Third long way:

You have to create Different values folder for different screens . Like

values-sw720dp          10.1” tablet 1280x800 mdpi

values-sw600dp          7.0”  tablet 1024x600 mdpi

values-sw480dp          5.4”  480x854 mdpi 
values-sw480dp          5.1”  480x800 mdpi 

values-xxhdpi           5.5"  1080x1920 xxhdpi
values-xxxhdpi           5.5" 1440x2560 xxxhdpi

values-xhdpi            4.7”   1280x720 xhdpi 
values-xhdpi            4.65”  720x1280 xhdpi 

values-hdpi             4.0” 480x800 hdpi
values-hdpi             3.7” 480x854 hdpi

values-mdpi             3.2” 320x480 mdpi

values-ldpi             3.4” 240x432 ldpi
values-ldpi             3.3” 240x400 ldpi
values-ldpi             2.7” 240x320 ldpi
