You could do it in a very simple way: get the screen widhtand height. screen width will be always higher when device is in landscape orientation.

Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
    int width = display.getWidth(); 
    int height = display.getHeight();
    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "" + width + "," + height,
            Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    if (width > height) {
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "LandScape",
                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
