You have to created two folder for the two resolution. In eclipse when you create an android xml choose the layout option and then makes you want to set the size. Here I leave a video that explains more or less [this video]

I need to develop my app with multiple screen size support. I recently watched youtube tutorial [this video] In the video it demonstrates how to create a new android.xml file and select the option for size and it automatically chooses a screen display size for graphic layout in the xml. My problem is when I try to do the same as in the video, eclipse does not select an appropriately sized screen in the graphic layout. Is there any known reason why this is happening? Thank you Also if you know of any tutorial on screen size support that are extremely straight forward it would be very appreciated.
