Layout Variants only for Emulator ?

[Paulsche]

Question: if Layout Variants only important for emulator
or to act out various resolutions on the device ?

Layout variants are valid for both, the emulator and for devices.

Best regards.

ok, then it makes sense to give all the common resolutions in each layout ?

If you want to target phones, 7 inch tablets and 10 inch tablets then you should usually use the three variants (or six for both orientations).

Using the Abstract designer you can quickly create new variants and see how they will look on other screen sizes.

My app will have about 20 different screens. Does that mean I'll need 120 different layouts to target most devices? And how would I handle that in code? Like the following?

Select screensize
  Case > 10"
     If orientation = landscape Then
       Activity.LoadLayout("screen1largeland")
     Else
       Activity.LoadLayout("screen1largeport")
     End If
  Case > 7"
     If orientation = landscape Then
       Activity.LoadLayout("screen1lmediumland")
     Else
       Activity.LoadLayout("screen1mediumport")
     End If
  Case Else
     If orientation = landscape Then
       Activity.LoadLayout("screen1smallland")
     Else
       Activity.LoadLayout("screen1smallport")
     End If
End Select

A single layout file can contain any number of layout variants. The best match will be chosen at runtime automatically.
