For tablet, you must create folders with suffix

for 7':

values-large

layout-large

for 10':

values-xlarge

layout-xlarge

In theses folder, put a copy of some of your dimens.xml, integer.xml, layout.xml

You can Use one Layout file to Use the all the Screens.

One Layout Folder to use All Screens

In above Picture the layout file is one for all screens by the Use the different values(dimens) folder.

values-w320dp ===> For Mobiles

values-w480dp ===> For 7 inch Tablets

values-w820dp ===> For 9 and 10 Tablets

The same drawable like in the Picture

drawable-normal-hdpi ==>For Mobiles

drawable-large-hdpi ==>For 7 inch Tablets

drawable-xlarge ==>For 9 and 10 Tablets

In Layout File :

android:layout_marginRight="@dimen/login_edittext"

the login_edittext must be mention in all dimens folder at respective values

In values-w320dp inside the dimens.xml

<dimen name="login_edittext">15dp</dimen>

In values-w480dp inside the dimens.xml

<dimen name="login_edittext">30dp</dimen>

In values-w820dp inside the dimens.xml

<dimen name="login_edittext">40dp</dimen>

I think It will be help you..

According to http://developer.android.com/training/basics/supporting-devices/screens.html:

MyProject/
    res/
        layout/              # default (portrait)
            main.xml
        layout-land/         # landscape
            main.xml
        layout-large/        # large (portrait)
            main.xml
        layout-large-land/   # large landscape
            main.xml
