I'm having problems with how items appear in the Android Studio Designer and my phone. The first problem is that widgets & fragments appear differently in the designer/emulator than on my phone. I have tried lowering the resolution in the designer to test other device resolutions but it still appears differently on my phone despite the resolutions being relatively the same.

The designer view is using the Nexus S's resolution which is smaller than my phone's resolution, yet the items still appear differently. I am in fact using RelativeLayout.
The other problem is that if you noticed, the button and text appears differently in the designer/emulator than on my phone. When I click the button on my phone, there is no button down effect, yet in the emulator, the effect is present. This is problematic because I want my designs to be consistent across all devices.
