Question

I have layout that is called Main.XML and I set the orientation to portrait in my AndroidManifest.xml. I designed this layout for Honeycomb too and placed it in the layout-xlarge-mdpi folder, but I want to use the Main.XML in layout-xlarge-mdpi only in landscape orientation.

Now, how can do this?

Thanks

You can place your main.xml in layout-xlarge-land, then it will be used only in landscape orientation
Refer Supporting Multiple Screens (Using configuration qualifiers)

Android supports several configuration
qualifiers that allow you to control
how the system selects your
alternative resources based on the
characteristics of the current device
screen. A configuration qualifier is a
string that you can append to a
resource directory in your Android
project and specifies the
configuration for which the resources
inside are designed.

Edit:
If you provide an main.xml in layout folder and another main.xml in layout-xlarge-land, then

• for an extra large landscape orientation it will take the main.xml from layout-xlarge-land

• for all other, that is in landscape or portrait orientation it will take the main.xml from layout
