Question

I have an android application.I created layout-sw600dp and layout-sw720dp layout folders for tablets 600x1024dp and 720x1280dp along with layout folder for other phones.I am tested these by using samsung galexy tab and emulator of size 720x1280.But it always takes the layout from layout folder.

when we loading the activity layout using setContentView () , we can do a check the BUILD model and based on that we a give a laod a layout..

Eg:

The code looks somethink simialr to this..

if(android.os.Build.MODEL.equals("XXX"))

setContentView(R.layout.x);

else

setContentView(R.layout.y);

Kindly let me know incase if you need any help.
