Nexus 10 doesn't act like a tablet

Question

my problem is that emulated in Android Studio Nexus 10 doesn't acts like a phone. I have tried 2 methods to detect is the device a tablet or phone:

public static boolean isTablet(Context context) {
return (context.getResources().getConfiguration().screenLayout
        & Configuration.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_MASK)
        >= Configuration.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_LARGE;
}

and the variant from here Determine if the device is a smartphone or tablet? Both doesn't work with nexus 10 while working with nexus 7 and another tablet. May be it is the problem of emulator, I dont know. Help me with this please.

This is the old way of tablet determination. Just to point out what is going wrong, you arent checking if the device is XLARGE (which the n10 is). A more correct version of this outdated way is : (from https://stackoverflow.com/a/9590506/794088)

public static boolean isTablet(Context context) {
    boolean xlarge = ((context.getResources().getConfiguration().screenLayout & Configuration.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_MASK) == Configuration.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_XLARGE);
    boolean large = ((context.getResources().getConfiguration().screenLayout & Configuration.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_MASK) == Configuration.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_LARGE);
    return (xlarge || large);
}

But instead of this, please follow this answer:
