[android-developers] Re: Change widget dimensions on orientation change

Use layout/ and layout-land/ or layout-port/ and have different
layouts for whatever orientation you need.

Not only can you have a totally separate layout, but if you are
worried about dimensions, you can just have the same layout but change
the margins. In other words, if a regular portrait widget is 72x96,
change the top and bottom margins to get it to 72x72 in the layout
file under layout-port/.
