Controlling the positions of a views in Android

I am trying to create an android app where I have a single relatively big button in the middle (the light blue in the picture) and it is surrounded by other smaller buttons as shown in the picture (some of small buttons might be visible or invisible based on some criteria).

I started with the RelativLayout setting the big on in the center and making the rest placed in relation to it, but it is a miss and the central button get shifted and doesn't stay in the center. I tried placing them in FrameLayout and used margin to adjust their locations, that worked the best however, the spacing changes on different screen resolutions.

So what is the best way to achieve such layout that will look consistent on any device?

How it should look like

Android's Percent Support Library allows you to use proportions to lay out your views, which may allow you to get closer to your goal.
