I'm learning about multi-pane apps and am running the Master/Detail Flow application that gets set up by Android Studio when you create a new project (and select this option). According to the comments within the Google code that gets created, the app should display in multi-pane mode for devices with large-screen layouts. The problem that I am having is that no matter what AVD I use, I only get a single pane. First, here is the onCreate method of the main activity. Please note that this code comes straight from Google (it isn't my code):
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_item_list);
if (findViewById(R.id.item_detail_container) != null) {
// The detail container view will be present only in the
// large-screen layouts (res/values-large and
// res/values-sw600dp). If this view is present, then the
// activity should be in two-pane mode.
mTwoPane = true;
// In two-pane mode, list items should be given the
// 'activated' state when touched.
((ItemListFragment) getFragmentManager()
.findFragmentById(R.id.item_list))
.setActivateOnItemClick(true);
}
// TODO: If exposing deep links into your app, handle intents here.
}
According to the Android Developer docs, running this code on a device with dp of at least 640dp x 480dp is large enough to qualify as a large screen, and presumably will then render in multi-pane mode. I'm using an AVD to model the Nexus 10 API 19 device, which has 800dp x 1280: xhdpi. Here is more information:
Here is what I get when I run this. Clearly not displaying multiple panes:
What do I need to do to get this to show multiple panes? When I run this on a USB-connected device, it works perfectly, so the code is accurate. The issue must be the AVD that I am using? Thanks!
