If you need the size classification — ”small”, “normal”, “large”, “xlarge” — use the Configuration class:

Configuration config = getResources().getConfiguration();
int size = config.screenLayout & config.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_MASK;

if (size == config.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_SMALL)
{
    // use special layout for small screens
}

If you need check for a orientation then you can use:

public int getScreenOrientation()
{
    Display getOrient = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
    int orientation = Configuration.ORIENTATION_UNDEFINED;

    if(getOrient.getWidth() == getOrient.getHeight()) {
        orientation = Configuration.ORIENTATION_SQUARE;
    } else { 
        if(getOrient.getWidth() < getOrient.getHeight()){
            orientation = Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT;
        } else { 
             orientation = Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE;
        }
    }

    return orientation;
}

I don’t really get it, why you need check for a screen size, because if you add your layouts in different layout folders, then Android automatically selects most suitable depending on screen size.
