Q:

galaxy tab 7 vs nexus 7 different dimensions res folder

I am wondering how to set up my dimensions resources folder in order for my layouts to look good on Nexus 7 and first generation Samsung Galaxy 7 inch tablets. They both use values-large res folder, the only difference is that the Nexus 7 uses xhdpi and Galaxy 7 uses hdpi. How can I use separate dimensions folder for each one of the devices?

A:

For a quick fix, create two new layout folders in res: layout-large and layout-large-hdpi.
The galaxy 2 will use the layouts in layout-large, while the nexus 7 will use the layouts in layout-large-hdpi. However, this method is deprecated. For the correct way of doing this, you should refer to the official android screen layout guide which has been updated for 7" screens.
