Android Layout on 7'' tablet

Question

I designed an app for phones and tablets but I have a problem.

I've tested on 10''/7'' tablets and it works fine, but on a 7'' tablets with smallest width = 480.0 it show the layout from the phone.

I have the three folders : layout, layout-sw600dp and layout-sw720dp.

Can you provide me some tips on how to achive that on the 400X800 7'' tablet to enter the tablet layout and not the phone layout?

Many Thanks.

dp is not a measure of physical size! Delete this question. Read this thread **thoroughly** http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2025282/difference-between-px-dp-dip-and-sp-in-android then if it's still not clear, come back and ask a more detailed question — Olayinka, Jul 23 '15 at 11:50

Faced same issue . No need to create 3 different layout folder . Use DisplayMetrics logic. Get your device height & weight . Set layout height & width respect to device height & width(Apply % rule) .

DisplayMetrics metrics = getResources().getDisplayMetrics();

   int DeviceTotalWidth = metrics.widthPixels;
   int DeviceTotalHeight = metrics.heightPixels;

And set this way,

 LinearLayout  LL_First_Section=(LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.Your_Id);
 LL_First_Section.getLayoutParams().height= (int) (DeviceTotalHeight*11.21/100);

Hello, but what means 11.21 -> I've added in my code this and now the layout for tablet enters on my phone which has DeviceTotalWidth 1440 and DeviceTotalHeight 2392 – davinci.2405 Jul 23 '15 at 12:12
11.21 % of total screen heigh. This way is most accurate – IntelliJ Amiya Jul 23 '15 at 12:16
