Hi everyone, new to HN, so please bear with me. In all my formal (collegiate) education thus far, we have been setting specific dimensions for visual elements. I recently got into android development and I really really enjoy it, but it seems like setting specific dimensions in the xml leads to issues with devices that have different sized screens. After a little research, it seems the best way to overcome this, and best practice in general, is to use weights or percentages for dimensions.
My root question is a request for any good resources for learning how to use weights instead of set dimensions. I checked w3schools and didn't find much, but I'm sure I probably just missed something. Alternatively, if anyone knows how to optimize the visual elements of android applications for all device screen sizes, let me know. Thanks!
