this may help you:

http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens-distribution.html http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/compatible-screens-element.html http://developer.android.com/google/play/publishing/multiple-apks.html

<manifest ... >
    <supports-screens android:smallScreens="true"
                      android:normalScreens="true"
                      android:largeScreens="false"
                      android:xlargeScreens="false"
    />
    ...
    <application ... >
        ...
    </application>
</manifest>

.

Android Market filters the application if the device screen size and density does not match any of the screen configurations ....

if you want your application to be available only to tablet devices, you can declare the element in your manifest like this:

<supports-screens android:smallScreens="false"
                      android:normalScreens="false"
                      android:largeScreens="true"
                      android:xlargeScreens="true"
                      android:requiresSmallestWidthDp="600" />

You can use this code to detect if device is a Tablet:

public boolean isTablet() {
        Log.d(Constants.TAG, "CHECK_TABLET isTablet entry["+isTablet+"]");
        if (isTablet == null) {
            int deviceSizeMask = getResources().getConfiguration().screenLayout
                    & Configuration.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_MASK;
            float screenDensity = getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density;




            if (deviceSizeMask == Configuration.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_XLARGE
                    || (deviceSizeMask == Configuration.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_LARGE && screenDensity < 2.0f)) {
                isTablet = true;
            } else {
                isTablet = false;
            }

            Log.d(Constants.TAG, "CHECK_TABLET deviceSizeMask["+deviceSizeMask+"] screenDensity["+screenDensity+"] isTablet["+isTablet+"]");
        }
        Log.d(Constants.TAG, "CHECK_TABLET isTablet exit["+isTablet+"]");
        return isTablet;
    }
