For Example:-  if(this is android phone){

                  execute this code;
                 }

                if(this is android tablet){

                        execute this code;
                     }

                   if(this is iphone )
                   {
                    execute this code ;
                      }



                   if(this is ipad )
                   {
                    execute this code ;

Answer 2

 DisplayMetrics metrics = context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics();
 int width = metrics.widthPixels;
 int height = metrics.heightPixels;

this gives the dimensions of the screen and based on these values you can determine if it is a tablet.. See this link to know how to get dimensions of your device

Answer 3

Create more layouts with same name in /res/layout

After selecting root element click "Next" and then choose one of the Available qualifiers (orientation) and define listView with its properties.
