Android Studio: multiple layouts, specifically landscape tablet

I am creating an application for a school project within Android Studio. I am required to make the application run on both phones and tablets in both landscape and portrait modes. I have created 3 different layouts for my homepage by opening the Design View and selecting Create XXXX Variation from the Orientation For Preview Section. So now I have a variation for portrait phone, landscape phone, and tablet but I still need one for landscape tablet. I noticed there is a Create Other Variation but I am not exactly sure how I would go about setting that to landscape tablet. Any advice is appreciated

For reference, here is what my layout folder looks like with my different variations.

Solution

  • Click Create Other.. Select Orientation from Available Qualifiers box. Click >> button. In Screen Orientation select Landscape. In directory name paste this : layout-sw600dp-land

    A new folder will be created with the same name having activity_main.xml in sw600dp(tablet 7" size) in landscape mode. Configure as per your requirement.
