I don't know what you mean by "turn the view." When the orientation changes to switch from the dominant to secondary orientation (portrait to landscape on the g1), the graphics of the entire screen are rotated to result in the screen being shown in the new orientation. As such, there is no need to do anything yourself, at it looks like to the application is that the size of the screen has changed to match the new orientation.
For different resources, normally you also don't need to do anything, because when the orientation changes the current activity is destroyed and a new one started, and the new one is running with a configuration matching the new orientation so will load the appropriate resources as it creates and initializes itself. The only except is if you are using android:configChanges to avoid being restarted due to a configuration change... which is one of the reasons why it is strongly encouraged not to do this, and certainly if you are changing layouts due to the orientation I would really suggest letting the normal destroy/recreate path execute. If you really really do want to mix the two, you will need to override onConfigurationChanged() and re-inflate your view hierarchy and re- initialize anything else depending on that or changing resources at that point.
