Designing for multiple phone screen sizes

There are out there thousands of android devices with different screen sizes, resolutions and densities. So what should you do when designing layouts that should supports almost every size of Normal android device? (Samsung Galaxy J5, Nexus 5, etc (Not tablets))

  • How to support different size of phone screens? (Samsung Galaxy S6's screen size is 5.1" screen size, 1440x2560p screen resolution) and all the other phone screen sizes.

Because when you make an layout with 2 ImageViews and a single TextView, and then review it on example. Samsung Galaxy J5, it looks fine. Then you review/download it on another phone that is example. Samsung Galaxy S5, some of the things are in the wrong places and you definitely think that the TextView should be 56dps on the left...

  • How to do another layout for another screen size?

*Note: I only asked about How to support multiple Normal Phone sizes? Not about "How to support all the devices (TABLETS, PHONES, WEARS)?"

    Have you seen the official Android documentation/tutorials on this topic? [Designing for Multiple Screen sizes](https://developer.android.com/training/multiscreen/index.html) and [Supporting Multiple Screen](https://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html) amongst others. – PPartisan Jul 22 '16 at 15:24
  • you should not be using hard height/width dimensions and instead use either wrap_content or match_parent – tyczj Jul 22 '16 at 15:25
