on which emulator your testing and on which real device you are testing? — Goofy, Aug 05 '13 at 12:21
You should check the resolution of your emulator and device. The button is lost because, there is not enough space to display it. Try using a scrollview or rearrange the buttons to fit the screen size. — Vamsi Challa, Aug 05 '13 at 12:25
@Goofy i am using ANDROID "Target= Andriod 4.2.2(API Level 17), Screen Resolution 240x320". For Mobile device i am using samsung galaxy y GT-S6102 — Abhishek, Aug 05 '13 at 12:44
