You have to support densities and screen sizes. See http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html — thaussma, Feb 09 '12 at 17:03

Check your project Build Target To support xlarge screen your project build target should be atleast android 2.3.3 adk.

In Eclipse -?right click on project -> Properties -> Android -> Select Project Build Tagrget as 2.3.3 or onwards.

First of all set the multiple screen support in your Android Application manifest file

<supports-screens                                 
    android:smallScreens="true"                    
    android:normalScreens="true"         
    android:largeScreens="true"            
    android:xlargeScreens="true"             
    android:anyDensity="true" />
