I am going to start making a tablet application.
What is the difference between the layout of a mobile application and a tablet application?
If I am going to mimic a mobile application to a tablet application, how do I create the layout to suit the tablet layout?
What are the emulators that I can use apart from the default AVD offered by Android Studio, to test the tablet application?
This is my first tablet application, so what are the pre-requisites that I can keep in mind in order to develop the application.
Thanks in advance
On Android you can combine a smartphone app with a tablet app, all you need is different layouts for the tablet. They will be placed in different subfolders of your resources folder. Assume you have a smartphone layout in the res/layout folder, tablet layouts will be placed in different folders representing the screensize and/or density. You will need dimens.xml for the different dp you use for the tablet layout, because smartphone db will be too small on tablet.
Use sdp library to create layouts that look the same on tablet and Smartphones. For an emulator I would prefer you Genymotion, it's free for personal use.
