It's just not necessary to set screenOrientation attribute, remove it and you'll be fine.

You can choose what layout to set as content view in code, depending on what version of OS device is using. Check this link to know how to check device's version: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5919267/android-how-to-check-version – Egor Jul 01 '11 at 11:46
