Screen size problem on android

Hi, i'm new to buzztouch and love it. I have been working on an app for android by following the advice and videos in the forum. I seem to have an issue with the way the app shows on different screens. It looks beautiful on htc touch, but on smaller screens the bottom of the app appears to be chopped off. I have gone through the forum and can't seem to find anyone else having a similar problem so I assume I must have a setting wrong in eclipse? I have compiled it using google API 4 1.6 I thought that the screen would sort itself out. Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated.

Hi in UK. Yes, screen sizes are tough. The version you are workign with (buzztouch v1.4) does a pretty good job with most screen sizes but not all. The smallest of screens shouldn't chop-off any content but should scroll down. If this isn't happening, and the content is actually unreachable, something's not right or you have a VERY small device ;-) Feel free to explore the layout.xml files in the /res/layouts folder, they'll make sense after a few minutes of browsing. This is where all the sizes, layout, and other on-screen options are configued.

I joined bt few months back and have developed certain apps for android with the help of bt v. 1.5. Even i faced similar issues after compiling the apps. It works great on emulators and on my Galaxy S. However on my Galaxy Fit the bottom of the app appears to be chopped off and the size of menu buttons appear too big and try to capture the whole screen. I would really be thankful if someone lends me an advice to solve this problem.
