I am developing an enterprise application for android tablets and i have limited the orientation only to landscape.
As the screen sizes for different tablet devices varies (7″ or 10″),
what is the best practice to design the layouts to support all the tablet devices?
This part of the documentation is very relevant to what you are asking: http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html#DeclaringTabletLayouts
The key idea is to have different layout files that will be loaded for different screen configurations.
Also make sure you do not use AbsoluteLayout because it has problems resizing.
Define metrics by dpi’s rather than pixels. It helps to avoid losing resolution when screen size gets larger.
Other than these, all important things are in the documentation.
