Question

For Multiple screen support do we need different layouts for each screen which goes in hdpi, ldpi and mdpi folders, I read this on android site, but not sure how to implemen

Answer 1

Let's assume that you have a default, good-looking layout in the layout folder. In most cases, Android will be able to adjust it properly. In my practice, only large screens require a new layout parameters.

To avoid layout duplication, we use the following layout structure:

res/layout/foo.xml                      -- layout file
res/values/foo_styles_default.xml       -- default styles (component sizes, margins, etc.)
res/values-large/foo_styles_large.xml   -- styles for large screen
res/values-xlarge/foo_styles_xlarge.xml -- styles for very large screen

Screen-size-dependent parameters in the 'foo.xml' layout are set via the 'style' attribute, thus allowing us to avoid creating multiple layout files.
