Answer 1

first you have to create following folder for different layout.....

Folder Name                       

layout-ldpi                           
layout-land-ldpi                    

layout-mdpi                           
layout-land-mdpi                      

layout-hdpi                           
layout-land-hdpi                      

layout-xlarge                        
layout-xlarge-land                    

1...Change in AndroidManifest.xml

android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"

2....Create layout_land.xml in layout Folder.

3....Create layout_port.xml in layout-land Folder.

4...Create Following Method

@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) 
{
    super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);


    if (newConfig.orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) 
    {
        setContentView(R.layout.layout_land);
        set_all_id();
    } 
    else if (newConfig.orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT)
    {
        setContentView(R.layout.layout_port);
        set_all_id();
    }
}

5....Change in OnCreate Method (only this content)

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    if (getResources().getConfiguration().orientation == 1)
    {
        setContentView(R.layout.layout_port);
    }
    if (getResources().getConfiguration().orientation == 2)
    {
        setContentView(R.layout.layout_land);
    }
    set_all_id();

}

6...Create set_all_id() method for initialization of view objects

public void set_all_id()
{
    //define id for all view objects..
    //textview = (textview)findViewById(R.id.textview);
}
