Thom,
This is working as intended.
layout_weight makes LinearLayout expand child view sizes.
However, it does not affect padding or margin values.
AFAIK, there is no easy way to do what you're looking for - which is
scaling the entire layout, including padding, and margin values (and
presumably font sizes too).
And which seems like a pretty strange thing to want to do - a larger
screen lets you fit more content, but that content is inside the views,
not between them. So the views growing and the spacing staying visually
the same is actually what one would expect (and I'm saying this with my
"user" hat on).
In case I'm missing something in your the usage scenario, well, you
could write your own layout (a subclass of ViewGroup) to scale all of
the above according to screen size.

I tried initially without - the problem is just extended to the pink
boxes, and I end up with a massive white gap at the bottom of the
screen on larger displays.

You may want to try this without weighting.

Hi,
I'm having some issues with using DPs. The problem may be with my
understanding of them.
I'm only using weighting and DPs for my layout. The weighting works
well when scaling to different displays, but anything that isn't using
weighting (text, space between the elements) doesn't scale
proportionally - you can see the difference in the pictures below when
I switch from the 2.7in QVGA to 5.4in FWVGA.

It's my current understanding that by using DPs rather than standard
pixel units, element size rations should be maintained across
different resolutions.
