I am trying to upload my first app to play store. I have uploaded my apk to console and drafted it. Then there is a orange bulb saying,Your APK is designed for tablets. For your app to be showcased in the 'Designed for tablets' list in the Play Store, you need to upload at least one 7-inch or 10-inch tablet screenshot for the Store listing. But when I added a screenshot for 7" tablet it shows like You uploaded screenshots for 7-inch tablets, but your APK does not seem to be designed for 7-inch tablets. So what should I need to make it accepted. Actually my app works well with tablets. Thank you in advance.

Take advantage of extra screen area available on tablets

Look for opportunities to include additional content or use an alternative treatment of existing content.

Use multi-pane layouts on tablet screens to combine single views into a compound view. This lets you use the additional screen area more efficiently and makes it easier for users to navigate your app.

  • So you say its the same issue? I have to edit my layouts to have less white spaces? I have a lot to go then. Is there any other methods? – AshMv Oct 23 '13 at 13:25
  • Not just whitespace, but changing your layout on larger screens. – Michael Barany Oct 23 '13 at 13:30
  • I have just two three buttons on some of my screens. So I think its not so good even if I change the layout. correct? – AshMv Oct 23 '13 at 13:40

Make sure, that you don't declare your tablet layouts in res/layout-large folder (deprecated), use layout-sw600dp instead.

This solved the same problem for me recently.

  • Oh! So do I need to remove layout-large and replace it with layout-sw600dp ?? I have both folders for now! – AshMv Oct 23 '13 at 13:41
  • I am not sure about using layout-large and layout-sw600dp simultaneously...isn't it generating conflicts for some specific devices, which are 'large' and also are at least 600dp wide? I would use only large or only sw600dp identifier. – Berťák Oct 23 '13 at 13:47
