ICS has separate resources specified for landscape mode. However, they aren't used by Android.

From my primary investigation, if the app is launched in landscape mode (holding the device landscape mode), the landscape specific resources are used. However, they are not used when rotating from portrait mode. This is because the views aren't redrawn during the orientation change.

Is this because we have android:configChanges="orientation" in AndroidManifest.xml?

We need to track "orientation" to avoid restarting activity. However, in onConfigurationChange(), we should redraw the layout for landscape. Which doesn't seem to work.

This patch solves the issue (phew!) Ideally invalidate() should do the trick. However, it is not taking the new configuration into account while redrawing. I had to inflate the mBrowserToolbar again. Since we have a different landscape view only for ICS, this is done only for honeycomb+ devices (as the action bar is changed). The orientation has to be saved to compare against, as inside onConfigurationChanged(), getConfiguration().orientation will be same as newConfig.orientation. I found few files (drawable-land-v14/ and drawable-port-v14/) not needed. I have removed them in this patch.
