Problem

I developed an application, Now i want to restrict the application for tablet. Means the application should not run on any tablets. For that I specify the support-screens in Androidmenifest.XML file as: ``` <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.abc.xyz" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0" > <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="5" android:targetSdkVersion="17" android:maxSdkVersion="17" /> <supports-screens android:smallScreens="true" android:normalScreens="true" android:largeScreens="false" android:xlargeScreens="false" android:resizeable="true" android:anyDensity="true" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/> <application android:icon="@drawable/appicon" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar" android:allowBackup="true" > <activity android:name="com.abc.xyz.activities.hello" android:label="@string/title_activity_hello" > <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> </application> </manifest> ``` Now the issue is that : Application is running on tablet ``` android:largeScreens="false" android:xlargeScreens="false" ``` After declaring above too. Now what should i do. Please suggest me and guide me.
