AVD ignoring layout-large/file

Question

I chose my emulator as a Nexus 7 through Android Studio. It's size is "large".

But when I run my app on the emulator then it still prefers using the default "layout" folders resource files.

I tried using the "layout-sw600dp" qualifier but still with no luck.

The resource file in both layout folders have the same name "news_articles.xml".

See my basic code below:

public class MainActivity extends Activity implements HeadlinesFragment.OnHeadlineSelectedListener{

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.news_articles);
}

What am I missing?

You should change in AVD Manager - Your Emulator Edit - Show Advanced Setting - Custom Skin Definition to "No Skin" and rerun the emulator.
