Layout has been misplaced while view in emulator and mobile

Question

I'm implementing a login screen while implementing it in the Android Studio the deigning seems fine, but after building the app to emulator and mobile it seems weird, like the elements are misplaced, stretched and compressed. I'm using the drawable element in different sizes because I want this app to support multiple resolution devices.

Below image is from XML designing preview

Below image is a screenshot of emulator

Below image is from Android device

here is the xml design [link][4]

What I'm doing here wrong, any suggestions would be helpful

Here is my sample code for your problem. Adjust the given static value like drawable value in this code by using your own drawable resources. Hope i help you in little way

The issue is you have not set the constraints properly. That is why it looks worse on the real devices.

Here is the XML code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@color/colorAccent"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
        android:id="@+id/constraintLayout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"

        android:layout_margin="16dp"

I have placed my resources like dimen, String and drawable. So, Please change you resources with mine.
