Getting generic sizes for android development

Question

I'm building an app to support all android sizes what are the generic values for Small, Normal, Large and Xlarge taking into consideration the 7 and 10 inch tablet. I'd like to know the screen size not the screen resolution.

Answer 1

Check out the official dev doc. Scroll down and you'll find a graphic associating generalized screen sizes (categories) with an approximate dimension (in inches).

Just be aware that screen size categories like "xlarge," for example, aren't tied to a hard number like "10 inches." Instead, official documentation uses terms like "An xlarge screen is defined as a screen that is significantly larger than a "large" screen, such as a tablet (or something larger)..."

You can find fuzzy definitions of screen size categories here
