          Don't define width, unless calculated. iOS is fairly simple with only a handful different resolutions, on Android you never know what resolutions you might encounter.



          Luckily, you can specify widths differently in Titanium than you can in HTML. For example



          var view = Ti.UI.createView({
          left: 20,
          right: 20
          });


          This will make your view the width of the parent, with 20 padding right and left, the width will be calculated.



          Also, always stick to native UI elements. So tabgroups, actionbar/navigationBar should all be used so you don't have to worry about cross platform support, styling and sizing of those elements.



          Furthermore, most view should be put in ScrollView's when you don't know how tall the UI is going to be. It could fit on iOS, but not on a small Android device. Putting it in a scrollview will always fix the screen as the scrollview will automatically enable scrolling when the content is taller than what fits.



          So conclusion




          • Width should be defined relative. Either with left/right properties, or calculated

          • If height of content is not yet known or not designed to be fullscreen wrap it in a scrollview

          • Stop thinking of apps as websites, start thinking of them as Apps. Layout works differently


          Lastly, Appcelerator is the company, Titanium is the technology you're using :)

          • Thank you Pot for your reply, i have tried the approch which you provided. but i m struggling with width, because i have 4 element in a row it works fine for iPhone 7 or more but when app runs on smaller device that 4 elemtent dosent get enough space and its not clickable, what i want is if width is not enoug then it works as a flow layout, that can come in the next row instead of single row. Thank you in advance

            for that you can try to put all 4 views in a parentView with layout:'horizontal and put parentView's height:Ti.UI.SIZE. can you share some code or screenshot of your problem
