Answer 1

Call method setContentView(R.layout.main) in onConfigurationChanged()

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

        ///in case you have some EditTexts , save their input before setting the new layout.
        emailForConfigChanges = emailTextBox.getText().toString().trim();
        passwordForConfigChanges = passwordTextBox.getText().toString().trim();

        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        //Now set the values back to the EditTexts .
    }

You just have to add this method to your activity as it handles all the orientation changes if you have declared "orientation" in your manifest.

EDIT : And if EditTexts lose their values on rotation, get their values before calling setContentView() in onConfigurationChanged(). See the edit above.
