You should never, ever see a resource qualifier like that. That is, frankly, insane. Also mixing density with screen size almost certainly means you are doing something on. I can guarantee that you that there will be device configurations in the future that break with such things, because density has *nothing* to do with screen size. The first this is please, please read the documentation and my blog post here: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2011/07/new-tools-for-managing-screen-sizes.html The blog post includes examples of how to use the new selectors in a compatible way with older devices. Also, yes, the large size bucket is problematic, as the blog post discusses. There isn't anything we can do to help this for older versions of the platform. My suggestion if you need to deal with this is to just fall back on doing it programmatically -- define two layouts that are not qualified by screen size, and when your code runs look at the actual screen size (converted to dp units) and pick the one to use based on that. Or alternatively, just forget about large, code against xlarge and the new -sw qualifier, and make sure your normal layout resizes reasonably when running on a larger screen. -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer [email protected] Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.
