I am creating an android application which is for both android mobile phones and tablet. I am having only android tablet to test the app(We can test using emulators with different screen sizes). Is it possible to test android mobile apps on android tablet but not in full screen? real size in the middle of the screen(Like IOS: In Ipad, we can test the iphone app).
Is it possible to test android mobile apps on android tablet but not in full screen?
No , this is not possible.
To test on android phone you need to test on actual device or an emulator only
In the graphics layout of the xml there is a option to select device size ,the default is Nexus one.Using this option you can preview the layout for different screen sizes .
Hope it helps.

Hello everyone I am a beginner in android app development,I am trying to create a android app of my own for mobile phones and tablets.My doubt is which screen size or device should I take as base for designing UI.
what I am doing is I am using separate xml files for each screensize example,for normal layout using activity_main.xml;,for large screen size using activity_main.xml(large)etc.The devices I used in emulator are Google nexus 5 for mobile,google nexus 7 and 10 for tablet is that enough? for all phones and tablets or should I follow any other approach
I'm building a mobile app and want to test it on a variety of screen sizes while developing.
The app will be running on both Android and iOS, but my main dev machine is not a mac.
Which emulators should I create to get a representative sample of all different phone configurations, e.g small, medium, tablet, etc?
if you will open avd manager and tap on create virtual device, you will see all types of devices listed having difference density categories.. most devices are xxhdpi.. so you can choose xxhdpi device out if them.However, you ca choose other screen density device and test on them. if you wanna check touch responsiveness, emulators dont work well.
I'm developing android app that have few activities. I have Samsung S6 device in my hand, so I created the same device in the android studio emulator to make it easy. But the problem is when I install the APK in my physical device it's not showing the layout as the emulator device. I used the same screen size ( 5.1 ) & the same resolution of 1440 pixels by 2560 pixels when creating the emulator device. can someone please help me ?
I also uploaded 2 screen shots to better understanding.
In Emulator
In Real Device
I have designed a app to support Android phones and i didn't create any layouts or images to support tablets. After running the app in the tablet i see that there is a lot of empty space on tablets.I don't have time to create separate layouts for bigger screen devices. I'm just wondering if there is any way that android stretches screen to support tablet versions like how apple does when we install the Iphone app on Ipad.
Your help is much appreciated

How can i test my android application on tablet 7 inch widescreen and what is the real screen resolution for this tablet ?
Please Create 7 Inch tablet Emulator and install your application in emulator
that perfect way to testing our application when we don't have tablet device.
You need to specify different dimens.xml in different folder for each of your screen, for example text size or width and height. For more explanation you can look at this
