Switching layouts when screen orientation changes in Android

When a displays orientation is changed you may find that your original layout doesn’t scale well. Every time the device orientation changes you current activity is destroyed and recreated. You can change your layout based on the current screen orientation in onCreate()

private void setContentBasedOnLayout()

{

    WindowManager winMan = (WindowManager) getContext().getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);

    if (winMan != null)

    {

        int orientation = winMan.getDefaultDisplay().getOrientation();

        if (orientation == 0) {

            // Portrait

            setContentView(R.layout.alertdialogportrait);

        }

        else if (orientation == 1) {

            // Landscape

            setContentView(R.layout.alertdialoglandscape);

        }            

    }

}
