Setting the orientation to be landscape for large screens

I know that in order for me to force the app to be in a certain orientation then I do this in the manifest file for each activity: android:screenOrientation="portrait" My question is, if I want to set the orientation to landscape ONLY for large screens, then how can I do it? What I know is that there are layout folders specific for each screen size but what about manifest file? It is common for all screen sizes. Any suggestions? Thanks

Check for the device that is being used through the code. A sample code for device checking is:

     context.getResources().getConfiguration().screenLayout & Configuration.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_MASK)==4

or

       Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >=11

This code is basically for checkinh if its honeycomb tabor not. After checking this set the orientation through code:

          setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);

Put this in your onCreate of activities..

if ((getResources().getConfiguration().screenLayout & 
Configuration.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_MASK) == 
    Configuration.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_LARGE) {
   setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);

}
