Android app is not consistent with all resolutions

I have just finished designing my android app and when I tried changing the resolutions, to check if my app looks the same for all devices, I could not notice that the app's design is twisted in all of the resolutions with the exception of the resolution I design for.

Long story short: What can I do so my app will look the same for all resolutions and devices?

Well, there are a couple of issues you could be having but without examples of what's happening it's hard to tell where you are making the mistake.

Number one could be that you are using standard pixels instead of dip or are using absolute layouts or one of the many things mentioned in http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html as referenced by both hardsky and bos.

Another alternative could be that you are simply thinking about your layouts incorrectly. For instance defining a views padding from the left in order to center it in the screen will totally fail when put on any screen with doesn't end up having dimensions which pan out to 320x480dip. Try to ensure that you are always defining your view placements by their intentions directly rather than a secondary attribute which pans out to be the same on standard resolutions.

May be different layouts for different resolutions? http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html
