I'm new to Android and trying to learn how to use multiple layout folders to specify different layouts for devices of different sizes.
I tried several different things, but nothing works to force my emulated tablet to use a larger layout.
My layout directory structure:
- location
- large layout
- layout sw600dp
- XLarge layout
main.xml in layout
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
>
<SearchView android:id="@+id/searchView"
android:iconifiedByDefault="false"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<FrameLayout
android:id="@+id/EarthquakeFragmentContainer"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
/>
</LinearLayout>
In the following three folders main.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<SearchView android:id="@+id/searchView"
android:iconifiedByDefault="false"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#FFF"/>
<fragment android:name="com.paad.earthquake.EarthquakeListFragment"
android:id="@+id/EarthquakeListFragment"
android:layout_width="360dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
/>
<fragment android:name="com.paad.earthquake.EarthquakeMapFragment"
android:id="@+id/EarthquakeMapFragment"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
/>
</LinearLayout>
Emulator setup is trying to imitate the Google Nexus 7:
- Target: Google API (API level 16)
- Leather: WXGA800-7in
- SD Card: 16M
- I use all the other parameters that come with the skin, plus hw.keyboard = yes and hw.ramSize = 512
Does anyone know why this is not working?
Thank you for your help!
