Hello,

I've racked my brain for hours over this issue. I have created a main.xml and designed one for the res/layout-land (landscape) format and another one for portrait in res/layout.

When I rotate the emulator (ctrl-F11), my app rotates properly to landscape using the correct main.xml, but a subsequent rotation back to portrait just keeps the landscape mail.xml.

This was done in a 2.0 AVD..

Out of despiration I downloaded the new Sample Code for Multiple Resolutions and had to create a new 2.1 AVD, to my surprise rotation with this app works correctly as expected. So I then decided to try my app on the 2.1 AVD and it works perfectly.

So, is this a Bug in a 2.0 AVD or is there something special I need to be doing for < 2.1 SDK versions?

This is driving me crazy because no where did anyone mention this issue.

Thanks in advance
