How to make specific dimens for Nexus 10 and Nexus 9

Nexus 9 has different aspect ratio, so the layout looks ugly when using 10" dimens.

I created two folders: values-sw768dp-portfor Nexus 9 and values-sw720dp-port for Nexus 10. But it doesn't work, Nexus 10 takes the dimens from sw768dp folder.

Please advice how to make specific dimens for Nexus 10 and Nexus 9. Thanks

Solution

  • I believe that the Nexus 10 has a sw (smallest width) value of 800dp, so it is taking the best fit, which is sw768dp. Try moving the Nexus 10 content into a folder for sw800dp.

    The Nexus 9 will continue to take its cues from the sw768dp folder
