how to change UI based on orientation but at the same avoid activity restart when orientation change

Question

HI I am new to android application development.I know android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize" is used to avoid activity Restart but it does not allow UI(layout-port,layout-land) changes too.But What i want is,

I need to avoid activity restart when orientation changes and also take an effect of UI changes.(i.e) if the mobile in portrait the layout takes from layout-port (or) if the mobile in landscape the layout takes from layout-land

Is this possible to achive?If yes means reply soon. If any body know this Please help me. Thanks in advance

Just let the Activity restart and handle configuration changes as the system intends. It's not that difficult to save state. — Kevin Coppock, Oct 04 '13 at 05:47
Can't have your cake and eat it too. That's the tradeoff you make when you handle configuration changes yourself. — Kevin Coppock, Oct 04 '13 at 06:55

Try to call setContentView(R.layout.sample) again at onConfigurationChanged Method.

I already tried Ali, But it does not allow user to interact with UI again – sierra Sep 24 '13 at 13:07
You have to write a common method to get all the resources using their ID's and call that method from onCreate and onConfigChange. – AK Ali Sep 24 '13 at 13:12
Ya Ali i did like that only..but no use for that..Is there any alternative way other than this alki...thanks for spending time for me ali – sierra Sep 24 '13 at 13:15
If you are doing like this only than user can interact with UI. May be you are doing something wrong please check your code once. – AK Ali Sep 24 '13 at 13:20
