If a directory has an unrecognized qualifier, the directory is skipped; the qualifier is not simply ignored. Hence, older devices will not "see" your -swNNNdp resources. You can demonstrate this by taking a vanilla project, renaming res/layout/ to res/layout-swNNNdp/ (for some likely value of NNN), and running it on an old emulator. > On the other side, with new devices, the "sw" > qualifier should take precedence so the "large" and "xlarge" should become > irrelevant. Hmmm... I just ran a test on a project, where I changed it to have just one layout resource directory: res/values-sw100dp-normal/. That directory was picked up by a 4.0.3 WVGA800 emulator. Given your description, I would have expected it to fail here with a ResourceNotFoundException, since there is no place to fail over to. Do you happen to have a test project that demonstrates what you're seeing? -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 4.3 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
