Like for the earlier devices we can create 3 kinds of layouts:-

  • normal-layout
  • large-layout
  • xlarge-layout

But what if I want to develop application for Samsung Galaxy S4. Is there any new configuration launched for this particular screen or it will take layout from xlarge-layout.

Same query would be raised for drawable configuration.

I don't have S4 available at this so i need to ask here. Any answer would be appreciated.

Galaxy s4 is considered as xxhdpi, which is around 480 ppi.And the name of the folder should be layout-xxhdpi.Devices like Xperia Z, HTC One etc also uses the same resource folder.
