4th answer will not display in the emulator when running quiz

I created a quiz app and when testing in the emulator the 4th question and timer are cut off at the bottom. I thought at first this was because of the length of the questions or answers but when I created a one word question and one word answer the 4th answer and timer still get cut off at the bottom of the screen. Is this only true in the emulator or will this happen as well on a device?

iOS? Android? What kind of device? There are some tiny-screen Android devices that don't play nice with the quiz layout. Hard to know the best adivce without more details.

Sorry I realize I forgot to include that after the fact. The os is Android I am using the emulator from eclipse I have to root my phone because it will not let me upload any app to debug. so for right now it is only when I am using the emulator.

OK, makes sense. There are dozens of emulators so still not too much advise. Either way, regardless of what emulator or android device you use you'll need to adjust the layout.xml file (for the quiz screen, in the /res/layout folder) if you want to re-size anything.
