Android: how to create an application for a smartphone and tablet?

I know that quite a lot of blog posts , like , Questions , which support backward compatibility Android 3.0 applications.

However, having read them all, I'm just more confused than before. :(

I have a smartphone app that supports min. SDK version 8 (2.2).

Now I want this to stay the same on smartphones, but also provide a fancy version on cell tablets with an action bar and fragments, etc.

I know there is a compatibility package, but everything I read about it was about fragments. What about the action bar and holographic theme? I made it pretty nice and easy, just by changing targetSdkVersion to "11" on my tablet. How can I achieve this with a compatibility pack?

Or would you say that it is better to develop two different versions of the program? (And maybe combine them later?)

Keep one apk and use alternative resources for your tablet.

Take a look at:

Shows the directory structure in which you can target smartphones and tablets (with cells) in the same APK.
