I should say -- I think this is better done by driving off what you can retrieve with findViewById(), instead of duplicating your logic for which layout you think you are using in code. If you get to the point of thinking about larger screens, you will probably have different decisions you make about which layout to use there, and it is nice to be able to just set up the resources to do the right thing without having to keep making corresponding changes in your code.
