            <!-- Third row finish -->

        </RelativeLayout>

    </RelativeLayout>

The Image that i got after this Layout is: enter image description here

In this Image the Keypad is not fit to the Whole Middle Window. I want to fit it in to the Window also. So What should i have to do for it ?

You should use Relative layout as it will adjust itself with different resolution screens.
