Which layout should I use for HVGA screen? For a small screen, I put all my XML files in layout-small directory. Similarly for devices like Nexus S and Samsung Galaxy S which have a resolution of 480 x 800. I put all my XML files in the layout directory.

But for HVGA I didn’t find any solution. Where to put the XML file for the HVGA device?

Is there any option like layout-small that I can do for HVGA devices? When I run the for HGVA device it takes the layout from the layout directory but as the resolution for HVGA devices is smaller than Nexus S devices, the layout does not properly appear. So I want to know.

    According to this

    Normal: Screens that are of similar size to a medium-density HVGA
    screen. The minimum layout size for a normal screen is approximately
    320×470 dp units. Examples of such screens a WQVGA low density, HVGA
    medium density, WVGA high density.

    MDPI: Medium-density (on traditional HVGA) screens; approximately
    160dpi.

    You should try: drawable-normal-mdpi
