What is Nexus 10 resource directory

Please Read the question carefully before marking it as duplicate
I have tried this SO Layout folders for Google Nexus 7 and 10, didn't worked for me.
I am developing an app which should work on both tabs and phones. I've created following resource directories:
layout-mdpi, layout-hpdi, layout-xhdpi, layout-xxhdpi, layout-xxxhdpi, layout-sw600dp, layout-sw600dp-land, layout-sw600dp-land-tvdpi (for nexus 7 land), layout-sw600dp-tvdpi (for nexus 7 portrait), layout-sw800dp, layout-sw800dp-land, layout-sw720dp, layout-sw720dp-land
**same for drawable and values
my problem is that in Nexus 10 it always takes from layout-xxxhdpi (which is certainly not for tab) instead of layout-sw720dp and layout-sw720dp-land.
Is there any way to create a separate folder for nexus 10?
I already have tried these with no result:-
layout-sw720dp-land-xhdpi
layout-sw720dp-xxhdpi

Possible solution is to go by screen size - layout-large and/or layout-xlarge.
Once I developed for highres tablets (10"), I had to go with layout-large.
Also you pretty much don't that number of directories, research about RelativeLayout, wrap_content, match_parent and density pixels

Layout issue with Micromax Fun book (Size qualifiers confusion)

I have the following structure of layouts for a particular activity:
Now when I check the specs of Micromax Funbook over here I get to know it is a 7 inch tab with resolution of 400X800
The docs state that for seven inches tablest I should use sw-600dp qualifier. However I am puzzled as the concerend tablet is taking layouts from sw-480dp folder.
When I test on a Nexus 5 device which is 4.95 inches and thus should either refer to sw-480 or sw-600 I see it takes the layout from layout folder without any size qualifier(mock_layout.xml - without qualifiers)
What could be wrong? What is the proper way of doing this?

Choosing layout folder for supporting all devices

I got a problem related to the layout folder for some device.
So at first I had layout and layout-large folder. I only have 3 xml files for layout inside of these layouts.
layout folder has xml files with using Eclipse configuration of Galaxy Nexus 4.65" (720x1280 xhdpi)
layout-large folder has xml files using Eclipse configuration of 5.1" WVGA (800x480 mdpi)
I tested it on a small Samsung Galaxy Youth 3.3" (320x480), and it's using layout folder... I don't really understand about screen res, I read it in google doc but until now I don't really get enough of it. Google Nexus configuration looked fit for small screen so I chose it without enough understanding in resolution or screen size. Somehow, it fit well in my Galaxy Youth.
While for larger screen device I depend on layout-large folder, so I tested it with Galaxy Tab 7". It fit well too.
Problem arise when I tested it with Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy Note 4 .. (for other devices I didn't test because I don't have them).
Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy Note 4 seems to use layout folder not the large one (I'm sure it'll fit well in my layout-large).
I actually want 320x480 or smaller screen size devices to all use layout and any devices with larger screen should use layout-large. How to achieve that?

YOU CAN USE CODE TO SELECT YOUR DESIRED layout for specific smallest-WIDTH of DEVICE..IN
onCreate:
Configuration config = getResources().getConfiguration();
if (config.smallestScreenWidthDp >= 480) {
setContentView(R.layout.main_activity_LARGE);
} else {
setContentView(R.layout.main_activity);
}
the Document say about ( sw NUMBER dp) format :" The exact point of this switch will depend on your particular design—maybe you need a 720dp width for your tablet layout, maybe 600dp is enough, or 480dp, or some number between these. "
so you can put in res :
res/layout/main_activity.xml
res/layout-sw480dp/main_activity.xml

Android: Image does not adjust on Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4 (both xhdpi) but does perfectly on Nexus 7 (also xhdpi)?

I am making an android app that displays an image in the main activity. To adjust the size of this image on different screen size devices I made different drawable folders and added images of corresponding resolutions. In android studio the image is perfectly fitting on Nexus 7 device (1200x1920; xhdpi) but is too big for the GalaxyNexus and Nexus 4 which are also xhdpi devices. Why is this so? Can somebody suggest a way to fix this problem? Thanks in advance !!
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView1"
android:src="#drawable/img"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

I found the fix finally. This can be taken care of using another folder drawable-large-xhdpi for the tablet.

You are correct that a 2013 Nexus 7 and the Nexus 4 are both XHDPI devices. That means that the system will not perform any scaling on the image that you place into the drawable-xhdpi resource directory on either device, but that doesn't mean the image should just be displayed as-is.
The 4.7" # 768x1280px (384x640dp) N4 is not the same as the 7" # 1200x1920px (600x960dp) N7.
Whilst the density resource qualifier generally works well for things like icons, it alone isn't always enough to provide a responsive layout.
What is the image, and how will it be used? Is it a large background image / full screen image?

Android Layout: same device size family, different real device sizes

Just a quick question:
My application should work both for my device (Galaxy Ace - 320 x 480 - "Normal" screen size family) and for the Galaxy Nexus (720 x 1280 - "Normal" screen size family).
I wrote two layouts in two different folders: layout and layout-sw600dp.
Unfortunately the Galaxy Nexus keep to choose the xml definition in the "layout" folder instead of "layout-sw600dp" one.
How can I solve this?
Thank you in advance.

(Thanks to #Class Stacker)
For everyone who has the same issue: put the layout xml file for the Galaxy Nexus in a folder called "layout-xhdpi".
