[android-developers] Re: activity launches with wrong layout orientation

You might try to use the follow code from the Java class:

switch (this.getResources().getConfiguration().orientation)
{
case Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT:
// Do something here
break;
case Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE:
// Do something here
break;
case Configuration.ORIENTATION_SQUARE:
// Do something here
break;
default:
throw new Exception("Unexpected orientation enumeration returned");
break;
}
