Answer 1

Hai, I got Solution with the help of Georgy Gobozov, But that solution has to be refined as shown below to work it properly,

@Override
    public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
          super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);

     if(newConfig.equals(Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE))
     {
         setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);  
     }
     else if(newConfig.equals(Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT))
     {
          setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);
     }
    }

 public class Accelerometer extends Activity 
    implements AccelerometerListener{

    public void onShake(float force) {
         Toast.makeText(this, "Phone shaked : " + force, 1000).show();
    }
 }

Just add to your AndroidManifest in activity

android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation"

Then you should override this method in your activity

@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
  super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
  setContentView(R.layout.myLayout);
}

And use search, this question is very popular.
