7" tablets—Android 3.2 introduces a new way to specify resources for more discrete screen sizes. The new technique is based on the amount of space your layout needs (such as 600dp of width), rather than trying to make your layout fit the generalized size groups (such as large or xlarge).

res/layout-sw600dp/
res/layout-sw600dp-land
res/layout-sw600dp-port

• 320dp: a typical phone screen (240x320 ldpi, 320x480 mdpi, 480x800 hdpi, etc).
• 480dp: a tweener tablet like the Streak (480x800 mdpi).
• 600dp: a 7” tablet (600x1024 mdpi).
• 720dp: a 10” tablet (720x1280 mdpi, 800x1280 mdpi, etc).

UI to differentiate between sizes such as 7” and 10” tablets

1. res/layout/main_activity.xml # For handsets (smaller than 600dp available width)
2. res/layout-sw600dp/main_activity.xml # For 7” tablets (600dp wide and bigger)
3. res/layout-sw720dp/main_activity.xml # For 10” tablets (720dp wide and bigger)

xlarge is a configuration qualifier for extra large screens.* When you append this string to a resource directory name (such as layout-xlarge), it indicates to the system that these resources are to be used on devices that have an extra large screen.

I have two 7 inch tablet one tablet (800*480) and second tablet (1024*600). I have facing problem following :-

I have faced the Same issue. as a workaround i have make the xml file for (800*480) in same layout folder as Default.

Also used layout-sw320dp for the Devices like GalaxyNexus and for 7'' Tablet i have make layout-sw600dp for 7'' Screen Tablet and for 10'' Tablet i have make layout-sw700dp for 10'' Screen Tablet

For Example : you have the xml file named "activity_main.xml"

1) inside layout folder--> put activity_main.xml with layout according to nexus one(480*800 hdpi)

2) inside layout-sw320dp folder--> put activity_main_tab.xml with Layout according to Galaxy Nexus(720*1280 xhdpi) Device which should take the layout from layout-600dp but will take layout from layout-320dp

3) inside layout-600dp folder--> put activity_main_tab.xml with layout according to tablet 7'' Screen

4) inside layout-700dp folder--> put activity_main_tab.xml with layout according to tablet 10'' Screen

after making the Layout formated as above. i have checked runtime width and height of device. and set the layout file accordingly.

if (displayWidth >= 552 && displayHeight >= 976 || displayWidth >= 976
                && displayHeight >= 552) { 
   Log.i(TAG, "in tab xml");            
   setContentView(R.layout.activity_main_tab); 
}else{ 
Log.i(TAG, "in Simple xml");
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); 
}

Hope this will Help.
