Hello all: I was just wondering if anyone else has been having issues getting the Layout Manager in Eclipse to match up with the Android emulator? One thing to note is that in my experience it seems that the emulator does match real devices more so than the Eclipse Layout Manager.
So my problem is, I've created a layout folder labeled "layout- sw720dp" so that I can create a layout for a 10" tablet. Then I've selected the "10.1 in (Tablet)" in the configuration options in the design view of the Layout Manager of Eclipse. I created my layout and everything looks perfect. Then I created an AVD that has the following properties: targets Android 3.0, uses the WXGA skin and has a dpi of 160. This "should" correspond to a 1280x800 160dpi screen as according to this page on the developers site: http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html#testing So based on these criteria, I would assume (I know that can be dangerous) that I would get output very close if not spot on to what I designed back in Eclipse. This is not the case however. One thing to note is that I also have a bunch of other layout folders such as "layout-large", "layout-normal", etc. Could these be interfering which each other possibly? The reason I ask is that it almost looks like it's using the layouts from the "layout-large" folder but I could be mistaken. Am I supposed to only use the new "layout-sw###" even though I'm technically targeting 2.2 and up for my app? Any help here would be much appreciated. I've been banging my head against the wall trying to get these layouts right.
