How to detect device/emulator layout (landscape/portrait) is changed

Question

Duplicate of this.

I am not able to add comment to the existing question that's why I have ask new question.

There is one solution in the above question "if your Android device is in landscape mode and you are loading a layout the android system will look if this layout file exists in the /res/layout-land folder. If it does not exist in this folder it will load the layout from the normal /res/layout folder."

But some how it is not working for me. I have added folder called land in layout folder also added xml file with same name, but it is still loading xml file from the main layout folder , when my screen is in landscape mode.

Is there any other solution ?

Look at this link on Android open source project https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13189 , from what I read is a problem with the emulator — GhostDerfel, Feb 12 '14 at 19:55
@GhostDerfel is there any other way I can detect that my layout is changed. — eswaat, Feb 12 '14 at 20:06
The worst method I can imagine is to calculate the height and width of your screen, but this is just a poor workaround (also need to test) — GhostDerfel, Feb 12 '14 at 20:08
