what to do about different resolution in android layout?

I designed my layout on emulator with resolution 1920*1080 and all thing were good but now I install on my device with resolution 1280*720 and it's not good and all thing (ImageView and TextView) seems longer than 1920*1080 resolution.although I use from dp for ImageView and sp for TextView but they are longer.I must design layout for this resolution or several resolution? I want to be same in different.what should i do?

Try adding this line in your build.gradle (Module: app) in dependencies:

implementation 'com.intuit.sdp:sdp-android:1.0.6'

And then express your dimension in xml file with:

"@dimen/_[number]sdp"

For example, a TextView will become so:

<TextView
        android:id="@+id/text_view_sample"
        android:layout_width="@dimen/_300sdp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginStart="@dimen/_20sdp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/_20sdp"
        android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/_58sdp"
        android:textSize="@dimen/_15sdp" />

It won't be precise to the millimeter, but it's more precise than using just dp and sp.

Important: Don't forget to "sync now" the gradle when you add lines in .gradle files
