  • 0

I want to adapt my app for tablets with large and xlarge screens (Android 3.0+ or API level 11+). Therefore, I created two folders: res/layout-large-port-v11 and res/layout-large-land-v11. When I first rotate my tablet and then launch the app, everything works well, but when I rotate the tablet while my app is working, Android stretches and rotates old layout, but doesn’t load the proper one (proper for new orientation). What’s wrong?

My tablet is Acer Iconia A500 (Honeycomb 3.2, API level 13)

You can see AndroidManifest.xml and all code in the app’s repo on github. DashboardActivity contains all logic for tablets.

P.S.: Everithing still works pretty well on my Android 2.2 phone with normal screen. Maybe something wrong with qualifiers? Maybe I should also create -v12, -v13 -v14 and -xlarge duplicates of the two folders?

    Have you tried removing orientation from configChanges? With this declaration, you are overriding the default behaviour of Android when changing orientation – this may (or may not) lead to problems like the one you described.
