Android: Getting orientation (landscape/portrait) on Activity launch

My Activity needs to monitor the orientation of the device. Now this works great with onConfigurationChanged(), but I also need to know orientation when my Activity starts.

So how do find out the current orientation of the device in my onCreate(), for instance?

I'm no expert but this works for me, in onCreate():

int display_mode = getResources().getConfiguration().orientation;

if (display_mode == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT) {
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
} else {
    setContentView(R.layout.main_land);
}
