I have a project for an application that can run on different types of android device:
-small device :example samsung ace
-normal device:samsung galaxi s3
-tablet 10”

My layout is complex and the use of match_parent and “dp” isn’t enough. I have read: http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html but I did not understand all of it.

Will I have to create more XML’s in say, res/layout-sw720dp/main_activity.xml folder ow will I have to use different qualifiers? How exactly does it work?

    For Different screen size, The following is a list of resource directories in an application that provides different layout designs for different screen sizes.

    res/layout/my_layout.xml             // layout for normal screen size ("default")
res/layout-small/my_layout.xml       // layout for small screen size
res/layout-large/my_layout.xml       // layout for large screen size
res/layout-xlarge/my_layout.xml      // layout for extra large screen size
res/layout-xlarge-land/my_layout.xml // layout for extra large in landscape orientation

    The following code in the Manifest supports all dpis.

    <supports-screens android:smallScreens="true" 
          android:normalScreens="true" 
          android:largeScreens="true"
          android:xlargeScreens="true"
          android:anyDensity="true" />
