Solution

  • You might use device size qualifier, for example:

    • large/dimension.xml for 7'' tablet
    • xlarge/dimension.xml for 10'' tablet

    Or else use new size qualifiers suggested by Google, refer here.

    So for your devices:

    • 7'' tablet : 1536*2048 320dpi = 768dp * 1024dp
    • 10'' tablet : 2560 * 1800 320dpi = 1280dp * 900dp

    You can use, for example:

    • sw768dp/dimension.xml for 7'' tablet
    • sw900dp/dimension.xml for 10'' tablet
