My code works on small devices but its not working on large screen devices above 5' inch

Question

My code works on small devices but it doesn't work on large screen devices above 5 inches.

The layout folders structure is the following:

layout-land/homeactivity.xml
layout-small-land/homeactivity.xml
layout-large-land/homeactivity.xml
layout-xlarge-land/homeactivity.xml

And the exception is:

12-17 12:26:10.811: E/AndroidRuntime(335): FATAL EXCEPTION: main 
12-17 12:26:10.811: E/AndroidRuntime(335): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.pelkin.peekzoo/com.pelkin.peekzoo.Animals}: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #22: Error inflating class 
12-17 12:26:10.811: E/AndroidRuntime(335): at android.app.ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:1647) 
12-17 12:26:10.811: E/AndroidRuntime(335): at android.app.ActivityThread.handleLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:1663)

There should be more information in the exception - like *where* the `NullPointerException` occurs. — Jon Skeet, Dec 17 '13 at 07:14

Did you have all of the images you use in all different sizes? If you're missing icons or images in the bigger sizes: drawable-xxhdpi and drawable-xhdpi, this might give you a nullpointer. Since it is trying to load an image wich doesn't exist in that size.

I dont think this will create the null pointer exception , since if the images are there in other drawable folders it will take the source from it – Khay Dec 17 '13 at 07:21
@Black Magic My image structure is as follows: drawable-land drawable-land-hdpi drawable-land-xhdpi drawable-land-mdpi drawable-land-ldpi I only put all images in ldpi and hdpi – AndroidDevM10 Dec 17 '13 at 07:22

the ID might be different in layout-large-land/homeactivity.xml or layout-xlarge-land/homeactivity.xml of the layout. double check your id's.
