  • Read the Android tutorial [`Supporting Multiple Screens`](http://jayxie.com/mirrors/android-sdk/guide/practices/screens_support.html) and also [`Designing UI for Multiple Screens`](http://developer.android.com/training/multiscreen/index.html) – Ram kiran Pachigolla Sep 10 '12 at 08:36

For Different screen size, The following is a list of resource directories in an application that provides different layout designs for different screen sizes and different bitmap drawables for small, medium, high, and extra high density screens.

res/layout/my_layout.xml             // layout for normal screen size ("default")
res/layout-small/my_layout.xml       // layout for small screen size
res/layout-large/my_layout.xml       // layout for large screen size
res/layout-xlarge/my_layout.xml      // layout for extra large screen size
res/layout-xlarge-land/my_layout.xml // layout for extra large in landscape orientation

res/drawable-mdpi/my_icon.png        // bitmap for medium density
res/drawable-hdpi/my_icon.png        // bitmap for high density
res/drawable-xhdpi/my_icon.png       // bitmap for extra high density

The following code in the Manifest supports all screens .

<supports-screens android:smallScreens="true" 
          android:normalScreens="true" 
          android:largeScreens="true"
          android:xlargeScreens="true"
          android:anyDensity="true" />

  • Thanks, now i know how to get the dimmensions, but how to set resources folder for each dimmension? – user1582087 Sep 10 '12 at 12:36
  • @user1582087 . Check this code......................... DisplayMetrics dm = new DisplayMetrics(); getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(dm); res = dm.heightPixels; if(res > 800) { setContentView(R.layout.main854); } else { setContentView(R.layout.main); } – Chirag Sep 10 '12 at 12:37
  • Maybe i can load for example all folder with resource, but not just one file? – user1582087 Sep 11 '12 at 06:50
