    Check http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7468049/android-app-for-phone-and-tablet-1-or-2-apps it may help .. the app will run, but you should consider the different screen sizes for example – Nermeen Jun 28 '12 at 14:03

Simple answer: It may run on the tablet - try.

Not so simple answer: It depends on whether you use some features of the phone and whether those features are available in your tablet. For example, if your tablet does not have GPS and you are developing location aware applications, that obviously is not going to work. Another thing to take care of would be the usability of the application. Your UI would most probably be designed with the phone's form factor in mind. That may not look exactly appealing on a large screen device like the tablet.

So long as you use the appropriate <supports-screen> tags in your Manifest.xml file, yes. However, I'd strongly suggest you go about making a tablet UI, because users don't like phone UIs stretched on a tablet screen. This document might help you with that.
