Android: Orientation Change Based On Screen Size

I need certain activities of mine to only change to landscape if the screen is big enough.

This means tablets and phones with screen size 5.1in+.

Is there anyway to do this through overriding onConfigurationChanged(...) and using the XML statement:

android:configChanges="orientation"

You certainly can. You can sniff for the screen size and using an if statement if binary or a switch otherwise to set the orientation of the view manually:

Display d = ((WindowManager) getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE)).getDefaultDisplay();         
screenWidth = (int)(d.getWidth());
screenHeight = (int)(d.getHeight());

setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
