Constraint layout responsive design problem - android (Closed)

I am using constraint layout to design a UI. And the problem is that the design looks good for 5 inches to 5.5-inch screens (that means 1080x1920 dpi to 1440x2560 dpi) but the problem occurs when I am switching 3.7 inches to 4.7-inch screens (480x800 dpi to 768x1280 dpi) then the down side of the UI is gone.

So, how can I responsive my UI design for all device screen using constraint layout?

5 inch to 5.5 inch screens (that means 1080x1920 dpi to 1440x2560 dpi)

3.7 inch to 4.7 inch screens (480x800 dpi to 768x1280 dpi)

Firstly dont use fixed width height if really not needed. You can use guidelines instead of giving start and end margins all views. Check layout below 

<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout 
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"
android:background="@color/c_ffc72c">

<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
    android:id="@+id/constraintLayout2"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="0dp"
    android:background="@color/white"
    app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@+id/constraintLayout"
    app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintVertical_weight="1">

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/imageView4"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"

        android:layout_marginBottom="16dp"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"

Along with not hard-coding heights and widths I'd suggest you use the horizontal linear layout to host everything like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout 
   xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
   xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="match_parent">

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="0dp">

    <ImageView

        app:srcCompat="@drawable/lion_king" />

    <EditText
