Button Size Issue For Android!

I have noticed that all my apps on Android has a button size issue to do with the Galaxy S3. I'm assuming its because the handset is classed as a tablet and the buttons appear on screen really tiny, but is the size it should be on devices with smaller screens. How do I rectify this issue? Do I have to build another Android version for the S3 devices and bigger? I have added my button files in Larger devices, but this has done nothing to solve the issue.

Hey @Dragon007, Out of curiosity, did you name all the button sizes the same name and put each in their particular drawable folders? Many times with Android, it is trial and error. LA

Hey @Dragon007, You creating buttons? If so, then you need to put the button images in the drawable folders. They are already there in your project so no need to create anything. LA

Sorry, misunderstood. My buttons are already in the 'Drawable' folder. Also this is an app that I previous developed using BT and has been in the market a while and I was told a few days ago that the buttons are really small on the S3.

@Dragon007, Yeah sounds like a S3 issue not displaying the image correctly. I would suggest to ask someone here @buzztouch that has an S3 and have them test while you go through trial and error on it. LA
