Earlier you said that you have make three different layout and the resolution of i-ball tablet is 1024x600 -> **hdpi** but by default it takes 480x800 resolution with hdpi... So just go with layout_large with hdpi... — Piyush, Sep 21 '13 at 09:47

@dipali how many folders to create depends on how many different phones you want your app to support. say you are supporting devices not only changes in the resolution and from factor.but devices with different sizes also. then you must have layouts/drawables placed in different folders to support it universally. regarding which image is preferred it is up to you which images you are placing in which drawable folder. — khubaib, Sep 21 '13 at 10:10

Samsung Galaxy S3 has same issue..

Here is sample logic of achieve for Samsung Galaxy S3 device, you can also try for your device.

for example to find the Samsung Galaxy S3 dp to suffix to drawable-sw?

dp With reference of DP Calculation, If you want to support your layout or drawable to S3 then the calculation says

px= Device's width = 720 dpi= Device's density= 320

formula given

px = dp * (dpi / 160)

interchanging formula because we have px's value

dp = px / (dpi / 160)

now putting value,

 dp= 720 / (320/160);
 dp=360.

so drawable-sw360dp will do the job
