Different layout for portrait(portraint) and landscape(Landscape)

Question

I got the following:

package carcleo.com.cadastro;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.res.Configuration;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class Principal extends Activity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        Configuration configuration = getResources().getConfiguration();

        if (configuration.orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE){
            setContentView(R.layout.principal);
        }else{
            setContentView(R.layout.principal(land));
        }

    }
}

In the if, verify the rotation of the screen to display the layout correct.

However, in the folder res, has 2 files main.xml

The principal.xmland the principal.xml(land)

That way, I’m not sure how to call the layout when the rotation is LANDSCAPE

SCREEN OF LAND

Code of LAND

        android:layout_marginRight="414dp"
        android:layout_marginBottom="45dp"
        android:text="Novo Cadastro" />

</RelativeLayout>

What I’m doing wrong if I’ve changed

    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            Configuration configuration = getResources().getConfiguration();

            if (configuration.orientation == 
Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE){
                setContentView(R.layout.principal);
            }else{
                setContentView(R.layout.principal(land));
            }

        }

for

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        Configuration configuration = getResources().getConfiguration();

        setContentView(R.layout.principal);

    }

?

In the device and in LANDSCAPE the elements are getting one below the other and not beside as in the tab of design

Look at the Androidmanifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="carcleo.com.cadastro">

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
        <activity android:name=".Principal">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
        <activity android:name=".Cadastro" />
        <activity android:name=".Resposta"></activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

Answer 1

You do not need to make such a check.

Android system will automatically load the existing layout into folder land when the device is turned to orientation Landscape.
