I've designed my UI in pixels(px) in the dimensions 700x400. Is it possible to stretch the ui along with the different phones?

Make different xml files for different layouts. You have to put the xml files in the folders accordingly(You have to keep the layout names and the id's same in each of them) Make folders like layout-land, Layout-Normal-Land, layout-xlarge etc. You also need different drawable for different screen density. You can create folders accordingly like- drawable-small-mdpi, drawable-large-hdpi and others.

You have to do it manually !

  • Create different folders of name layout-small, layout-large, layout-xlarge in res folder
  • Copy-paste all ur .xml's from ur layout to thes folder
  • Open all the xml's & set the margins with using different screen sizes one by one
  • Then u can run & see the app in different size emulators

You should do this in dp and for different screen size should use different values mdpi, hdpi, xhdpi etc. Not only drawable but possibly different layouts and values for width, height, paddings, margins etc
