Any one please help me to create emulator for Samsung Galaxy Note 3. And will it come under large or xlarge category?
I don't have a Note3, but looking at my Note2 which is a normal-xhdpi device (like the S3) and the specs of the Note3 itself, I guess it's a normal-xxhdpi device like an S4.
It's confirmed by this website: http://checkscreensize.appspot.com/listdevice.jsp
search for "9005" which is one of the IDs of the Note 3.
For other details you can look at this SO question: Samsung Galaxy Note III emulator settings

I have created an application with different layout folders. When I tested the application I found that both Samsung galaxy Note2 and Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos is taking the same layout folder 'layout-sw320dp-long-port'. What is the issue here? Can anybody tell that what is the correct layout for both phones?
Thanks in advance
Sundeep.S.
I never believe that Note2 has same screen resolution as Grand Duos.
Check this links :

Review Samsung Note2
Review Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos
As you see this phones has different screen resolution.
I submitted my app to samsung app store but it is rejected as it fails on Tablet Galaxy(WXGA) devices.
I don't know the bug.I tested the app through remote test lab devices but I am unable to open even a single device.It just shows a black screen.
Can you please tell me some other way to test the application on Samsung Note 8.0 or samsung galaxy tab 10.1..?
If it's not possible then please tell me that Whether Samsung note 8.0 device is ldpi/mdpi/hdpi.xhdpi device with screen size as small/normal/large/extra large,So that I can figure out the bug..?
Note 8.0 is hdpi-large last time we checked.
I have created an galaxy s4 emulator using this post how to open galaxy S4 emulator
but my problem is when I tried to run this emulator it takes very long time and at last it said time is out. My ram is 6GM. And I created emulator by providing 800MB ram. And my laptop screen resolution is HD.
How to resolve my problem immediately because I have to test my app in galaxy s4.
I got it working with the settings the other link holds (How to test android app in Galaxy S4 configuration using emulator?) and "Target Google APIs (Google Inc.) - API Level 17" and also I let the Emulator help by my GPU "Emulator Options: Use Host GPU".
Hope you folks get it working to :)
Samsung has not released Add-on for galaxy s4.
But we have an alternatives for the Same Configurations.
Actual:Samsung S4 (1080 x 1920 pixels, 5.0 inches (~441 ppi pixel density))
Alternative:Sony Xperia Z (1080 x 1920 pixels, 5.0 inches (~441 ppi pixel density))
Both are using Drawable-xxhdpi resource folder.
To configure Sony Xperia Z:

Testing on Sony Xperia Z emulator,will effect the same result in Samsung galaxy s4.
Emulators are slow. No matter what configuration you have. So testing in emulator doesn't mean it'll give you same behaviour in the real device.
Unless samsung decided to do so, it won't be available with Android SDK as predefined config. You may need to manually set the configurations (which is what you have done). Even then the OS gonna run in S4 is customised by Samsung yet again as I said earlier you won't get it with your SDK package.
Which devices (smartphone and tablet) do you recommend to buy as reference?
And what version of Android do you prefer?
Main goal: testing responsive websites in our small web studio.
Smartphones:
Samsung Galaxy — S2, S3, S4 (but S4 and S3 seem to be too expensive).
Google Nexus 4.
4.0 — 4.5 branded devices in middle cost segment.
bi-brands or Chinese devices (low cost, Android 4.1+).
Tablets (I think, only 9.7/10.1 inches not 7 inches):
Samsung (dunno which).
Chinese devices.
We have limited resources, so…
I would go for Google Reference Devices, as they always go through all Android versions, and they have always the latest version available. Right now they are:
Nexus 7 (2012 and 2013 versions). 2012 version is the most sold Android Tablet. also works as a reference Portrait Tablet.
Nexus 4
Nexus 10. Reference Landscape Tablet.
Nexus One or Nexus S for a reference Android Gingerbread device.
Then, if you have the budget, I would go for typical best sellers in all ranges:
Galaxy S2, S3 and S4
Galaxy Y, Ace, HTC Desire X
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7, 8.9 and 10.
Is anyone out there testing on a Samsung Galaxy S3 yet?
Specifically, does it have what is considered a large or normal screen for layout purposes?
I have the Galaxy Nexus and it takes normal layouts, but I read the Galaxy Note is considered a large screen.
Thanks in advance.
As owner of Samsung Galaxy S3 I confirm - it is "normal" screen, not "large" one. Also "xhdpi" when it comes to density.
Samsung S3 takes images from drawable-sw360dp and layout files from layout-sw360dp folder only...
Here's a link to the complete specifications for the European version of the Samsung Galaxy S3. The screen is 720 x 1280 pixels and 4.8 in. diagonal. The American version is the same as far as the screen goes.
all phones will use the drawable folder by default if no others are specified, but officially you should use xhdpi and hdpi for these
