[android-developers] Re: Converting to xlarge layouts

Yes, you can have either multiple APKs, or you can have a single APK
that delivers its layout based on the version of Android being used.

For the multiple APK support of the market, see here:

http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2011/07/multiple-apk-support-in-android-market.html

And for the logic behind delivering one layout for xlarge screens vs.
smaller sizes, a good app source cose to look at is the Google IO app:

A good activity to start with is the ActivityHelper.java file in the
util directory.

Peter
