Android Studio automatically displays the resource folder for you, you don't actually have to create a separate folder if you're looking in Android view. Create your default dimens.xml with no qualifiers. When you create another dimens.xml (same file name), you can add qualifiers. For example, I just created two dimens.xml files, one without qualifiers and one with the Screen Width qualifier. For the one with the Screen Width qualifier, I defined the screen width as 820 (it assumes dp). Once created, in Android view, you'll see a dimens folder inside the values folder, and the two dimens.xml files, one with the qualifier in parentheses, inside of it.

You need to create different values folder according to the screen size and inside that put dimens.xml file. Follow this link http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/providing-resources.html
