My doubt is which layout is best for UI design in android and Is it the design is change in any other device. That means i am using HTC Desire to test my application if i installed my app in any other app means the design is change or look like same

Thanks in Advance

AbsoluteLayout is definitely worst-practice for android.

Get to love the RelativeLayout. It will make your life much easier, when designing for multiple resolutions/densities. If you have an old SDK, update your eclipse plugin. It has graphical snap-lines for RelativeLayouts similar to designing a form in Visual Studio, so you can see what is anchored where. It's really quite good.

Do not use AbsoluteLayout! The Android Doc says:

This class is deprecated. Use FrameLayout, RelativeLayout or a custom layout instead.

Those layouts will adapt to different screen sizes, whereas AbsoluteLayout will not.

I always go for LinearLayout over all other layout.Working with RelativeLayout is very hard as all the components are placed relatively to each other so if you want to move a component slightly you will have to sweat it out!!

Depends on your design. It's a nice question. Layouts are a very important concept of desiging. I usually prefer linearLayout and relative layout.

Use frameLayout if you want to display a textView on an ImageView and don't worry about different handsets. It will adapt accordingly. Study Nine-patch image.
