Why Does Android's Nexus 7 Virtual Device Not Load My "large" Layout Resources?

Using the Nexus 7 in AVD, my layout-large resources are not being loaded. I thought that 7-inch devices fell into the 'large' category. I have a physical device, the Galaxy 3 Lite,

Solution 1:

I had the same problem and the solution exists :

you have to to go in the AVD Manager => Edit the Nexus 7 Settings => Show Advanced Settings => Put the Custom Skin Definition to None

Then the phone is ugly but the layout-large is used.

And I think the same thing can be applied for other phones that have this bug

Solution 2:

Apparently the emulator is completely out of whack. I've used different methods, and the emulator all returns itself as have a "normal" class screen. Even though the Virtual Device Manager shows it as a large class screen.

Google's Android emulator has always been sub-par, but this is taking it to another level /rant
