Use orientation listener to perform different tasks on different orientation.

@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration myConfig) 
{
    super.onConfigurationChanged(myConfig);
    int orient = getResources().getConfiguration().orientation; 
    switch(orient) 
    {
       case Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE:
          setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);
                    break;
       case Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT:
          setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
                    break;
       default:
          setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_UNSPECIFIED);
    }
}
