I have a linear layout where the orientation needs to be "horizontal" in portrait mode and "vertical" in landscape mode.
There are a few ways to do this, the most obvious of which being to specify two layouts: one in "layout" and one in "layout-land". However, this will require a certain amount of duplicate XML. I know you can use <include> to minimize this, but at the very least the attributes of the LinearLayout tag will need to be duplicated and two extra XML files need to be created (one layout-land file and one include for the contents of that layout). As an alternative I do this in the LinearLayout tag: android:orientation="@string/custom_lang_orientation" and then: values/strings.xml <string name="custom_lang_orientation">0</string> values/strings-land.xml <string name="custom_lang_orientation">1</ string> which is a hack. Its also a bit risky because of the assumption the integer values for horizontal/vertical will not change. However, I suppose this is extremely unlikely.
