Android: "zoom to fill screen" and "strech to fill screen"

When I switch between zoom to fill screen and stretch to fill screen my application will crash. By the way I noticed that a lot of app on the market have this problem. Does anyone know how to avoid this problem.

Here's the logcat:

It seems that i've found another way, reading your post : give widgets different ids on layouts, instanciating according to orientation like this :

int ot = getResources().getConfiguration().orientation;
switch (ot)
{
    case  Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE:
        lvListe = (HorizontalListView)mainView.findViewById(R.id.hlvListe);
        break;
    case Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT:
        lvListe = (ListView)mainView.findViewById(R.id.lvListe);
        break;
    default:
        break;
}

The problem is inside the xml layouts, I use a scrollView in layout-normal and a listView in layout-xlarge for the same viewId. This will cause the application to crash when Android tries to restore the state of the view.

A nice workaround can be to override the methods onSaveInstaceState and onRestoreInstaceState, this way it's possible to avoid a classCastException
