Object Hide on Orientation Change

Question

I would like to hide only a few elements on orientation change (LANDSCAPE). Where do I put this?

Button bt0 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button0);
bt0.setVisibility(bt0.GONE);

And then, make them comeback on PORTRAIT. They are already defined onCreate.

As mentioned in the tag, u just need to implement onConfigurationChanged method of Activity right? — everconfusedGuy, Jun 28 '13 at 03:23
I think you should forget about the tags, and accept one of the answers... — LuckyMe, Jun 29 '13 at 01:34
I would prefer something like the second one but I am yet to test it out. The point of hiding those elements is to save more screen display space. What's wrong with that tag? — Bert Steve, Jun 29 '13 at 15:46
After days of experimenting. The best solution was to use both suggestions. It works great now. Thanks both of you! — Bert Steve, Jul 03 '13 at 16:25

Create two layout folders, one for portrait and one for landscape, layoput-port and layout-land. Have a look at this page.

Unless you have two different layouts to display, otherwise defining nearly identical layouts just to hide a few element views will be an overkill, not to mention that you have to maintain two layout xml files. You can just show/hide the view element by checking the orientation at runtime:

bt0.setVisibility((getResources().getConfiguration().orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) ? View.GONE : View.VISIBLE);
