You can put your layout in different folders, [See here][1] [1]: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21280277/different-values-folders-in-android — Jithu, Aug 19 '14 at 10:51

Put your main.xml layout in following folders in the /res folder of your project.

1) main.xml in layout

2) main.xml in layout-large

3) main.xml in layout-small

4) main.xml in layout-xlarge

Note: only name must be same, but inside content can be different.

Those qualifiers are deprecated since Android 3.2. You should use sw600dp/sw720dp etc. instead. See: http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html#ConfigurationExamples – reVerse Aug 19 '14 at 11:03
