Question

In my application I have designed layouts for resolution 600×1024 and placed them in the layout-large folder.

When I run the app on Samsung Galaxy Tab it picks up layouts from the layout-large folder and the UI looks fine.

But for Samsung Note too it picks up layouts from the layout-large folder and the UI does not look good.

Is there any way I can create an exceptional case for Samsung Note, and tell android not to use layouts from layout-large folder if the device is Samsung Note and instead use layouts from some other folder for this particular device???

I have also designed layouts for resolution 800×1280 and placed them in the layout-xlarge folder. But even though Samsung Note has resolution 800×1280 it does not use layouts from this folder!!

I came across new size qualifiers here http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html#DeclaringTabletLayouts but could not use this approach as my application’s minimum sdk version is 2.3 (API level 9)

I have to support Samsung Note for my application and need a solution for this on priority, please help…
Thanks in advance!

//check your density of your phone and create an layout and place your xml file there.

for medium density which is 160dpi

res/layout-large-mdpi

for high density which is 240dpi

res/layout-large-hdpi

for xhigh density which is 320dpi

res/layout-large-xhdpi
