I am a newbie in android app development, so forgive me if I replete the question. My question is about layout my app in different device and orientation effectively .
I have a list of product that that I have to show in a activity with their respective metadata and images. I use custom listview for this it looks fine in portrait view but in landscape view it seems like waste of available space (specially tablet device it looks very bad) .

So i want to know how to use extra available space to show more product in same row ? Should i use different layout for different orientation ? should i show one product in a row if device in portrait and two product in a row if it is in landscape view ? or there is something better than this (something that show product in a row according to available space 1,2,3 or more product in a row according to available space).

  • It sounds from your situation like you should use different layouts for the different situations. See this question to see how you do it http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2124046/how-do-i-specify-different-layouts-for-portrait-and-landscape-orientations – Paul Boddington Dec 25 '14 at 16:47
  • thank for your comment . should i also need to change my listview to tabview (if i need to show two product in a row ) – R.K.Saini Dec 25 '14 at 16:55
  • I don't know I'm afraid. I use listview a lot but I've never tried tabview. – Paul Boddington Dec 25 '14 at 17:01

basicall you will need to create different resources for each orientation and the android framework will do the rest. check this answer, if you need any further explanation just tell me
