Landscape mode and LinearLayout/ScrollView

Question

I have tried to make my Android app work in landscape mode but I have failed thus far. Below is the xml code for the layout , and I want to know how to use the ScrollView in landscape mode.

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
        xmlns:android1="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android1:id="@+id/LinearLayout1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:background="#FFDEAD"
        android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
        android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
        android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
        android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
        android1:gravity="center|left|right"
        android1:orientation="vertical"
        tools:context=".MainActivity" >

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/textView1"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Number1" ></TextView>

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/N1"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:ems="10"
            android:hint="Enter number 1"
            android:inputType="numberSigned" >

            <requestFocus />
        </EditText>

</LinearLayout>

Why don't you just put a `ScrollView` around your whole layout? Fixes not only this problem, but also makes your layout useable on small screens. If you don't want that you need to create an extra layout for landscape.

Do you have something like this around your LinearLayout?

<ScrollView  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">

    <LinearLayout>
        ...
    </LinearLayout> 

</ScrollView>
