I’m developing an app which should work on a phone and on a tablet device. I tested it on the emulator and it worked fine.
But when I start it on a real Samsung Tab, it uses the phone layouts.
What qualifiers should I use in order to get the tablet using tablets layouts ? I tried with layout-sw600dp but it doesn’t work.
Thanks !
Layout selection in Android devices is as follows
layout -> Default (Useful for Phone layouts),
layout-large – > 5″ to 7″ tablets (like Galaxy Note, Kindle Fire etc),
layout-xlarge -> above 7″ tablets,
layout-swdp -> regardless of the screen’s current orientation, your application’s has at least dps of width available for it UI.(Introduced in Android 3.2 and above , this may be the reson why 600dp dint work for you).
