You can specify alternative resources for different orientations as described here:
http://code.google.com/android/devel/resources-i18n.html#AlternateResources Or you can swallow the orientation change event by adding this attribute to the <activity> declaration in the manifest: android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden" Adding this attributes means that you'll get a callback to the activity (onConfigurationChange or something similar) instead of the device handling the orientation change for you (which is does really clumsily by restarting your application!) Of course, not sure what happens if someone *starts *your application in landscape mode... but maybe you can check for this somewhere else.
