You can use Google library PercentRelativeLayout with this library you can set width , height and margin of your views by percentage which is great because in all screen they look the same(for your case they look good for landscape and portrait screen orientation) and of course it is not hard to code it. Here example:

<android.support.percent.PercentRelativeLayout
         xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
         xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
         android:layout_width="match_parent"
         android:layout_height="match_parent">
     <ImageView
         app:layout_widthPercent="50%"
         app:layout_heightPercent="50%"
         app:layout_marginTopPercent="25%"
         app:layout_marginLeftPercent="25%"/>
 </android.support.percent.PercentRelativeLayout>

you must add this line in your build.gradle

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:percent:23.2.0'
}

Official documentation by Google https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/percent/PercentRelativeLayout.html

Hope this help for your case!
