text_size in multiple screen support

I'm trying to decrease the text size of a textview depending on the device the app runs. However I can't make it work.

I created the folder values-sw320dp (also tried values-w320dp) and put inside the dimens.xml file 

<resources>
<dimen name="text_size">25sp</dimen>
</resources>

and my values/dimens.xml file contains

<dimen name="text_size">18sp</dimen>

What I expect is to load the app in Nexus One (emulator), which is 482 x 320 dp, and get the text size 18sp. However I get text size 25sp.

Does anyone know what is happening?

Thank you

Solution

  • Create folder as values-hdpi

    dimens.xml for values-hdpi

    <resources>
<dimen name="text_size">18sp</dimen>
</resources>

    And Create folder as values-xhdpi

    dimens.xml for values-xhdpi

    <resources>
<dimen name="text_size">25sp</dimen>
</resources>

    And use like this-

    android:textSize="@dimen/text_size"
