update changed scale type fitcenter , expected solve issue has not. puzzled why scaling doesn't resize image fit inside layout when seems others have found scale images fit on screens.

i have experimented using relative layout can't find easy way have 4 buttons fill screen equally.

thanks in advance, i've spent far time on this!

you change scale type of images see option work best (may not work due fill_parent & weight of images).

you make textviews , put text above images instead of having button text (personal preference).

if link me 4 images figure out :)
