Orientation change and handle ConfingurationChanges manually in android

Here i develop one android application for both orientation Portrait and Landscape. So i create two layout folder for Landscape and Portrait and create two layout.xml files one for Portrait and second one is for landscape. In portrait layout.xml file has one ImageView and In Landscape layout.xml file has two ImageView. In AndroidManifest.xml, i set parameter android:configChanges="keyboard|orientation" in <activity> entry to stop recreating activity on orientation changes. and In my Activity i override onConfigurationChanges() as below

 public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) 
 {
    try
    {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);

        Toast.makeText(myContext, " Config Changed ", 1000).show();

        setContentView(R.layout.double_pageread_layout);

        setLayout();  // Initialize Controls (Buttons, ImageView,etc..)
    }
    catch (Exception ex) 
    {
        ex.printStackTrace();
    }
}

But the Problem is that when i run my application. i can see it is perfect But When i change orientation it does not display anything.

Please Help me.

Thanks In Advance.

You do not need to manually change the layout by handling configuration changes. Simply place the two different layout.xml files into the res/layout and res/layout-port folders and Android will automatically inflate the proper one on rotate.
