Answer 1

It depends on how you have defined your layout: posting your layout XML will help here.

Answer 2

I would guess if its in the middle you have something like:

android:layout_gravity="center"

But yeah, posting your XML would be a bit help!

Answer 3

If you want your layouts to work on different resolution screens your should be sizing them using dip as the unit. For example:

android:layout_marginRight="10dip"

dip stands for Device Independent Pixel and using these in your layout means that Android will automatically scale your layout depending on which display the device running your application has.

You can read about these in the Supporting Multiple Screens page in the Android Developer Documentation. This document also has some other options for handling different displays but I think using dip is probably the easiest.
