Android - Buttons in Layout is being shown different on devices - android-layout

There are 8 buttons from top to bottom on my layout.
When i run .apk in my device, it is shown good. But when i run same .apk on an old android device, last 2 buttons is not shown. they dont squeeze on display
Please, help me.

Give equal weights to all buttons and set height and width of all buttons as wrap_content.

Ad scrollview to your buttons.It is because the screen is small.

Designing for full screen

Summary: I'm having a big problem with layout design in my project... I want to set it up in fullscreen mode, but I can only set it in a specify resolution, because of that, when I click to maximize my program, it goes like image #2... I tried to anchor buttons in "Top,Left,Bottom,Right" but the mess is bigger (image #3).
What I need: I want to make a single layout for a fullscreen mode in any screen resolution...

When I use fill mode...
If I understand right and you want everything to stretch when you resize your form then you should dock your tablelayoutpanel (fill) and the same with your buttons.

How to use "pan screen" on Android Studio?

I have found a function recently in Android Studio named "pan screen". It is located at the right side of design window. But I didn't find any description for it.
If you zoom in your design much enough so it no longer fits on in your design area in Android Studio, you can hit pan icon and drag your design around.
The image you have shown in is Zoom and Pan Controls which allows you to zoom in and out of the design , Now the Pan button will help you to pan around to find the areas
that are unable or not visible to see when zoomed in.
Pan is swing in a horizontal or vertical plane, typically to give a panoramic effect or follow a subject.
Pan in Android studio, you can hold space bar and drag the screen to view those area currently is not visible.
When a user zooms in the layout so much that you are unable to see all items in the layout, you can click on the pan option and then afterwards move the layout without accidently moving the items in the layout.

Android Studio (3.3.1). Layout decorations are not visible

Im learning Android studio now and encounter this problem with Layout Preview. I cant see phone frame.Ok, it's not big deal, but in result I see that the toolbar was not counted in design. For better understanding look at picture Virtual Device and Layout preview comparison. For layout preview and virtual device I picked Nexus 6. Screen sizes should be exactly the same. In the picture you can see the button in the layout preview. But in the virtual device the button is almost completely out of the screen bounds.
This is a link to my app
HelloWorldApp
WORKS!!!
Click that 'eye' icon and select the 'Show layout decorations'. Done.
Try this,
Click on Preview-> Visibility Symbol which named as view options
There is one option, Show Layout Decorations , Select this options.
For reference find below image:
I hope its work for you.
You can try to select device and theme for your preview window see attached image
