Android - Changing screen orientation

Question

Suppose that within an activity my initial screen orientation is landscape. In the same activity, I would like to add a button which changes the screen orientation from landscape to portrait.

Is this possible in any way, or should I switch to a new activity ?

Thanks.

Initially in my activity a, the screen orientation is fixed to landscape as described in android manifest file, this works as intended for many layouts, but on the last layout - I know where I call it - I would like to change that line in manifest file from landscape to portrait — Pumpkin, Sep 06 '11 at 16:48

you can add new views to your layout, but first you need to detect the orientation change which is explained in the following link how it's done.
