screen to rotate to landscape and portrait, respectively. Our current layout

is not very good in landscape orientation:

Figure 20. The LunchList in landscape orientation

So, let us come up with an alternative layout that will work better.

First, create a LunchList/res/layout-land/ directory in your project. This will

hold layout files that we wish to use when the device (or emulator) is in the

landscape orientation.

Then, copy LunchList/res/layout/main.xml into LunchList/res/layout-land/,

so we can start with the same layout we were using for portrait mode.

Then, change the layout to look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<TabHost xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:id="@android:id/tabhost"

android:layout_width="fill_parent"

android:layout_height="fill_parent">

<LinearLayout

android:orientation="vertical"

android:layout_width="fill_parent"

android:layout_height="fill_parent">

<TabWidget android:id="@android:id/tabs"

android:layout_width="fill_parent"
