            android:layout_weight="1"/>


        <ImageView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="0dp"
            android:src="@drawable/challenge_bt" 
            android:layout_weight="1"/>


        <ImageView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="0dp"
            android:src="@drawable/special_bt" 
            android:layout_weight="1"/>

</LinearLayout>

Pr38y is right, use a `LinearLayout` for these buttons. If you want e.g. their height to adjust, set the height of each button to 0dp and give the weight 1. Seems like you are using way to many wrapper layouts, just use one and put the `ImageViews` in there. You don't really the the weight-sum for the parent layout either, just give each button the weight 1. — Blacklight, Nov 11 '14 at 09:54
ok it seems that it works fine... only one thing... in 7" (mdpi) and 10.1"(mdpi) these buttons remains small... why? I edit my new code... — cyclingIsBetter, Nov 11 '14 at 10:09

use below code.

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="@+id/main_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@drawable/back_menu"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context="com.example.game.SplashActivity" >


    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_margin="8dp"
        android:src="@drawable/bt_1_player"
        android:layout_weight="1"/>

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_margin="8dp"
        android:src="@drawable/bt_2_player"
        android:layout_weight="1"/>


    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_margin="8dp"
        android:src="@drawable/challenge_bt"
        android:layout_weight="1"/>


    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_margin="8dp"
        android:src="@drawable/special_bt"
        android:layout_weight="1"/>

</LinearLayout>

it works fine with imageView, but not with ImageButton – cyclingIsBetter Nov 11 '14 at 11:19 — cyclingIsBetter, Nov 11 '14 at 11:19
