how to access layout-large layout in the activity?

Hi,

I am having layout which I want to render on to different sizes of mobile (like WVGA854). Resource structure is like

res\layout\main.xml res\layout-large\main.xml

By default it is taking layout main.xml file itself of layout. Its not pointing to layout-large\main.xml

its throwing exception:Activity can not start resource not found

So can any one guide me how can I acheive this and how to support mutiple screens with different layouts like large,small and default along with images specified in respective dip folders.

Thanks in advance

If your files are what you say they are, you should not get this error for main.xml. You have a main.xml in the res/layout/ directory, so that will be used if nothing better is found. I suspect your error may be related to some other resource.

Here are some sample projects from one of my books that demonstrate using multiple screen sizes and densities.

I have tried your code(project) also. Same thing I am getting exception resource not found.I tried your code by deleting main.xml from ur layout folder and exceuted in differnet resolution emulator. So I get Resource not found exception.

I tried executing your project in different resolutions of simulator. But in none of the simulators its taking layout-large-land\main.xml.Do I need to do any configurations or settings ..... and i have included all the attributes in mainifest file.

There is no large emulator by default. The WVGA800/WVGA854 get high density by default, and so they are size medium. You need to modify some settings for the AVD, setting `hw.lcd.density` to 160 (medium) to get a large screen. http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/avd.html#hardwareopts

I have as per comments u have given. This is fine. What exactly I need is ,suppose there is login screen.I have background image for login with 320*480 resolution. And using nine patch, I am using the same image(so that only borders get strech) My actual background of text fields and login button will not be streched.In WVGA800/845 I am able to get nine patch image from hdpi resource, problem is my control getting distructed, and also the position getting disturbed. So for this I want to define the diff. layouts by specifying appropriate positions acc. to my image.So how to achevie this issue.
