I'm not exactly sure what your problem is. Are you trying to determine if a device is currently oriented in landscape or portrait mode? If so you can get that information quickly with:

Display display = ((WindowManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE)).getDefaultDisplay();
Point size = new Point();
Display.getSize(size);

boolean isLandscape = size.x > size.y;

If you couple that with Display.getOrientation() you should have access to all the information you need.
