[android-developers] Re: Unreliable resource bucket loading on Nexus7

But why -large qualifier doesn't work well on nexus7?

I am using different layout for portrait and landscape mode on nexus7. If I use -sw600dp and -w720dp to tell detect the case, I guess the layout defined in -sw600dp will take the precedence over -w720dp even in landscape mode according to Android doc, right?

For nexus7, use the sw600dp instead of large.

I am working on adding tablet support on an app. To identify tablet or phone, I try to rely on a boolean value defined in resource of different bucket, like:

-values

bool.xml

     <resources>

     <bool name="isPhoneLayout">true</bool>

    </resources>

-values-large

bool.xml

     <resources>

     <bool name="isPhoneLayout">false</bool>

    </resources>

And then, I have check in code like:

if (getResources().getBoolean(R.bool.isPhoneLayout)) {

//start activity for phone

}

else {

//start activity for tablet

}

The app support sdk v8-v15 and my test device is Nexus7 with 4.1.2. The code works most of time, but occasionally wrong activity got loaded, and I can see that getResources().getBoolean(R.bool.isPhoneLayout) returns true in debugger when that happens. The problem can be fixed by rotating screen. However, I don't have exact repro steps for the problem.

Any thoughts on this? Is the right approach to detect phone/tablet? Should I check something like getResources().getConfiguration() instead?

Thanks!
