Layout folder for New Nexus 7

Question

One of our user complaint that app does not look good on New Nexus 7(1200*1900 with 323PPI resolution). I am not getting which layout folder I have to create to give support this new device.

I will give a try with layout-large-xhdpi – Ankit Aug 30 '13 at 11:08 — Ankit, Aug 30 '13 at 11:08

You should use layout-sw600dp because large might include 5 inch devices like Dell Streak also - From the Android guidelines.

The new Nexus 7 uses xhdpi resources but for app icon, it uses xxhdpi. That's what I've observed in my app on my Nexus 7.

Should fall into xhdpi bucket.

ldpi : ~120dpi
mdpi : ~160dpi
hdpi : ~240dpi
xhdpi : ~320dpi

The new Nexus 7 is of 320dpi. So it falls on the large xhdpi bucket.
So you can specify layout as layout-large-xhdpi.

Nexus 7 picks the resources from tvdpi folder . Please try that like layout-large-tvdpi, drawable-large-tvdpi.

Sorry , I was talking about old Nexus 7 , new Nexus 7 picks up from large-xhdpi.

No, that's the original nexus 7. The OP is asking about the new Nexus 7. – Renjith Aug 30 '13 at 10:55
