And the devices in which its not showing i.e. Sony xperia z , Samsung galaxy A7,one plus one etc etc. Please help me out to overcome with this problem...

You simply dont support xlarge screens and thats what the phones are that you have listed ;) You forgot to set "android:xlargeScreens"

And feel free to delete all of the "compatible" screen tags....they are redundant because they allready set to true by default

And thats also true for the suppeort screens tag....delte them both basically to remove the redundancy

Try to supply :

<uses-feature
        android:name="android.hardware.telephony"
        android:required="false" />
    <uses-feature
        android:name="android.hardware.microphone"
        android:required="false" />
    <uses-feature
        android:name="android.hardware.camera"
        android:required="false" />
    <uses-feature
        android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus"
        android:required="false" />
    <uses-feature
        android:name="android.hardware.camera.front"
        android:required="false" />
    <uses-feature
        android:name="android.software.input_methods"
        android:required="false" />

It can be because this devices have android version lower that minSdkVersion in your application.

From the looks of it you just want your app to work with all devices. I believe you can just leave out the <supports-screens> and <compatible-screens> sections entirely then.
