1) I think AbsoluteLayout is deprecated and in general is not recommended anyway. I don't know what you mean by needing two of them, or switching them mid-program. You mean you want an absolute layout per orientation, and know how to switch to a different layout when orientation changes? Why not just use a linear or relative layout, then you don't have to worry about it?
2) You can hit ctrl + F12 (with the emulator window focused) and it should rotate for you.
