How to programatically determine which XML layout my Android apps is using?

Question

How do I programatically determine which layout (layout-normal, layout-large, etc.) my app is currently using? I see the getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(metrics) call but it seems to only deal with screen density but not necessary which layout the app is using. I need the info since I need to programatically change some of the positioning of views dynamically at runtime.

Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem. If you're using layout/layout-sw600dp/layout-sw720dp, the following ended working for me:

Configuration config = activity.getResources().getConfiguration();

if (config.smallestScreenWidthDp >= 720) {
  // sw720dp code goes here
}
else if (config.smallestScreenWidthDp >= 600) {
  // sw600dp code goes here
}
else {
  // fall-back code goes here
}
