title: Android layout on emulator vs device
body: <p>I've created my app using all the neccessary things to support different screen sizes/densities (relative layouts, dip etc.)</p>
  
  <p>I've created all the neccessary layout files (ldpi,mdpi etc) and images for this support.</p>
  
  <p>I've tested the app on all the available emulator skins using Eclipse, and they all appear like the should. I then tested this on a real device (Samsung Galaxy SII) and it looked great. Then I tested it on a Galaxy Tab (7") and the layouts were a bit wrong, and the text sizes were wrong too, making it look really bad on the tablet.</p>
  
  <p>I'm really confused by this, because it was tested using all of the emulator skins (this includes a 7" screen skin). I then created a custom AVD - (1024X600, 240 density), to match the exact specs of the galaxy tablet. This again looked as it should on the emulator, but the real device shows differently.</p>
  
  <p>Any thoughts why this is? Shouldn't an emulator with the same specs of a real device look the same as the device?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
