  • Create separate views for tabs and phones.Then create separate classes for both and load the classes based on the device type. – Abx Aug 26 '14 at 11:18

This subject is discussed in the Android Training:

http://developer.android.com/training/multiscreen/screensizes.html#TaskUseSWQuali

If you read the entire topic, they explain how to set a boolean value in a specific value file (as res/values-sw600dp/):

<resources>
    <bool name="isTablet">true</bool>
</resources>

Because the sw600dp qualifier is only valid for platforms above android 3.2. If you want to make sure this technique works on all platforms (before 3.2), create the same file in res/values-xlarge folder:

<resources>
    <bool name="isTablet">true</bool>
</resources>

Then, in the "standard" value file (as res/values/), you set the boolean to false:

<resources>
    <bool name="isTablet">false</bool>
</resources>

Then in you activity, you can get this value and check if you are running in a tablet size device:

boolean tabletSize = getResources().getBoolean(R.bool.isTablet);
if (tabletSize) {
    Intent i = new(context, TabletActivity.class);
    startActivity(i);
} else {
    Intent i = new(context, MobileActivity.class);
    startActivity(i);
}

  • Hey Archit Thanks For Your Reply But this is only Layout change. i make Two main Activity one for tablet and second for phone. so first screen size Resolution get and as per screen size activity(class) call. So its possible? – Priyank Prajapati Aug 27 '14 at 05:58
  • yes you can do with that with the above activity. Lets say you got one activity in which you apply the above code (lets say activity name is `ChooseActivity.java`). and in if else statement if(tabletsize) then call Intent to your activity for Tablets( Lets say `TabletActivity.java`) and in else statement set Intent for Mobiles(Lets say `MobileActivity.java`). I edited my answer accordingly. – Archit Jain Aug 27 '14 at 11:44
