well if u are creating your app for both potrait as well as landscape mode then you have to make two different layouts otherwise you can restrict your app to display your app only on the potrait mode by adding a screenOrientation property in your manifest file 

android:name=".ListViewImagesActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait"

Create layout xml file for both landscape and portrait mode is the good practice. You can also manipulate it through Layout changes, but its recommended to use two layout files.

Then put the landscape layout file in layout-land folder and other in layout-port folder.

change your layout to relative layout -- and you can also put a different layout for landscape and portrait refer supporting multiple screens by android developers you will understand in a better way http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html
