Layout problem and suggested fix. #3

Description

There appears to be a layout problem with some of the tools, making the UI not very usable in some cases (if not most), likely depending on the device/monitor.

I haven't exhaustively checked all the apps, but I thought it would be good to bring this to attention:

Simply by adjusting the res/layout/main.xml of the chmod calculator, umask calculator, and the unix time converter (this one being more complicated because of the presence of the date picker), I have created versions of the source with layouts that use dp values instead of px:
https://github.com/ionarevamp/umask-calculator-android-UI-fix
https://github.com/ionarevamp/chmod-calculator-android-UI-fix
https://github.com/ionarevamp/unix-time-converter-android-UI-fix (this one also uses a RelativeLayout and forces elements to be below or next to other elements to prevent overlap)

I see the presence of using px values as a bug, and my changes as an enhancement, and so I think it would be good to incorporate these changes and even perhaps changes like these to other apps within the buildAPKs project that might see similar issues for devices with higher dpi values.

I mainly mention these apps because I thought they were useful enough in their simplicity to focus on them first. If I find ways to fix other apps across the project I might do so
