Explains how to get the size and orientation of the screen. http://indyvision.net/2010/02/android-screen-size-orientation/

However, the device already changes its own behavior depending on the device orientation. For instance you can specify screen layouts dependent on the orientation, one for vertical and one for horizontal.

To prevent the Activity from rotating with the device, you can add android:screenOrientation="portrait" or "landscape" to AndroidManifest.xml for each Activity declared in your app.
