Width of elements on activity aren't right?

I have the layout of my app set to 480dpi wide, and 480/4 is 120. So, if I have 4 buttons at the top of my app, and I set one to 120dpi wide, why does the button take up half the screen?! How can I get buttons to get sized evenly at the top?

Here, I just added 4 buttons at the top:

Then the first two buttons are 120 dpi wide:

Try this 

<TableRow android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:weightSum="100" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
    <Button android:text="Button" android:layout_weight="25"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"></Button>
    <Button android:text="Button" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="25" android:layout_height="wrap_content"></Button>
    <Button android:text="Button" android:layout_weight="25"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"></Button>
    <Button android:text="Button" android:layout_weight="25"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"></Button>
</TableRow>

You can use FILL_PARENT parameter for layout width and add a weight 1 to each of your buttons to get desired effect
