If your device is API 13 or higher, you can use the layout-sw<???>dp qualifier.

For a 7 inch tablet, layout-sw600dp is the correct qualifier. Your specific tab with resolution 480 x 800 should come under this category with ldpi density.

Conversion of px to dp: dp = px / (dpi / 160). Here px is 480 and dpi is 120.
So dp = 480/(120/160) == 600dp

As an alternative, you can use layout-large qualifier. Again here you can use layout-large-ldpi which specifically defines your tablet.
