    </LinearLayout>

</TableLayout>

Answer 1

You should create value/dimens.xml file for mobile and value-sw600dp/dimes.xml for tablet. Next you should write down there different dimensions for each item in your layout. Like this:

File values/dimens.xml :

<resources>
    <dimen name="sapuser_width">150dip</dimen>
</resources>

File values-sw600dp/dimens.xml

<resources>
    <dimen name="sapuser_width">300dip</dimen>
</resources>

After that you should write down references on dimensions. For example

<EditText android:id="@+id/sapuser" android:hint="Required"
            android:layout_column="2" android:width="@dimen/sapuser_width" android:paddingLeft="5dip"
             android:layout_marginRight="15dip" android:text="" android:singleLine="true" />

Note that for 7 inch and 10 inch you should use different values:

• For 7 inch – values-sw600dp
• For 10 inch – values-sw720dp
