Managing layout for all devices

Actually i am new in android. I want to create an simple app that is able to run in all devices. The screen resolution i have selected for running my app are.

  1. QVGA (240 x 320)

  2. HVGA (320 x 480)

  3. WVGA(800) (480 x 800)

  4. WXGA720 (720 x 1280)

  5. WXGA(800) (1280 x 800)

Now i am not able to determine the name of the resources folder for all these different resolution. I have through the documentation i.e support multiple screen but i not able to create resources folder for WXGA720 (720 x 1280) and WXGA(800) (1280 x 800).

So please anyone suggest me what are the resources folder i have to create for all these resolution.

Remember to always define your layout meassurements in dp units. I have written a blog post to help you scale your layout xml-files proportionally so you only have to define them for a single "density bucket".

You usually create resource folders for the various density and size buckets, not for the specific resolutions. Normally applications only need a couple of different layouts (e.g: phone/tablet)
