available smallest width quantifiers

I am trying to create an application which works fine on mobile devices with small screen and tablet devices having large screen. That is devices with screen size 4 to 10 inch.

Read that we can resolve this issue by using smallest width qualifier .

The Smallest-width qualifier allows you to target screens that have a certain minimum width given in dp

May i know the available smallest width qualifier.

Smallest smartphone screens typically have a smallest width of 320 dp, but you can put the resources for the minimum screen size you are willing to support in the drawable, drawable-sw0dp or drawable-sw320dp folders, or, more in general, any drawable-sw<N>dp folder with N <= 320. If you want to choose a minimum screen size to support for your app, you should use the corresponding manifest attribute:

<supports-screens android:requiresSmallestWidthDp="320"/>

and not with resource folder names, to avoid runtime crashes.

Typical numbers for screen width dp are:

  • 320: a phone screen (240x320 ldpi, 320x480 mdpi, 480x800 hdpi, etc).

  • 480: a tweener tablet like the Streak (480x800 mdpi).

  • 600: a 7” tablet (600x1024).

  • 720: a 10” tablet (720x1280, 800x1280, etc).
