How to deal with android multi size screen resolutions?

Question

I made an app , and i am also using layout, layout_large,layout_x large folders for XML. but when i test my app on 3.7 and 4.7 inch device...they both take XML from normal layout size folder and take layout-large XML for 7 inch tab. so what should be done for layouts between 3.7 to 5.5 inches?? Help appreciated.

Answer 1

if your min sdk over 13 then try to work with layout-sw600dp... and not with layout-large ..

For example, if your multi-pane tablet layout requires at least 600dp of screen width, you should place it in layout-sw600dp/.

Answer 2

In addition to layout folder try using density dependent layout.just as we use for drawables. eg.hdpi,xhdpi,xxhdpi.
