Courses Plus Student 369 PointsPositioning items in a relative layout
I tried the method describe in the video, I mean, putting items in a LinearLayout, but when I change the screen type, the LinearLayout and the items are still not arranged anymore. How to fix this? Thanks !

Treehouse TeacherLayouts are tricky. I want to cover them in a lot more detail in an upcoming project.
How do you change the screen type? A different size screen, or a switch to landscape? It should be a portrait-only app.
Cicedea Andrei
Courses Plus Student 369 PointsI change the screen type using the virtual editor option for different inches of the screen. I can give you pictures to make a right idea about my problem. This is how it should look (on 5.4 inch screen): http://i.stack.imgur.com/Ph63x.png, and this is how it looks on a different screen (3.7 inche screen): http://i.stack.imgur.com/Ar2ZM.png

Treehouse TeacherAh! I thought it was for the Crystal Ball app specifically. Paste in your layout code here and we'll take a look! Don't worry if it doesn't paste correctly; I'll format it. We use Markdown formatting for code (see the cheatsheet below), and XML can be tricky.

Treehouse TeacherThis post fell off my radar. Hopefully the info in my response to your other post can help you with this one, too. We as the staff can't spend too much time supporting personal projects like this, but hopefully we can get you on your way and get more students to help out.
