Layout Based on Orientation

Currently trying to have a dialog that will allow the user to sign in
to a service using a Webview. Using a simple LinearLayout works while
while the phone is held in portrait mode, with the message and button
on top leaving a nice squareish webview. When switching in to
landscape mode though I end up with an unusably low height webview as
the message and button are still on top.
Is there any way to specify a layout based on the current orientation?

Sure. Put one layout in res/layout and another in res/layout-land. Here,
layout-land effectively means "use this layout when the device is in
landscape orientation".
When the device is rotated, your current activity will be closed
(shortly after onSaveInstanceState() is called) and then restarted with
the appropriate layout set. Reload your widgets from the instance state
supplied to onCreate()/onRestoreInstanceState(), and you're set.

1. Checkbox with multiple lines with different font size
I am trying to put CheckBox with multiple lines and all lines after
fist with smaller font size same as
we have under from home page Menu->Settings->Sound & Display->Silent
mode.
It shows text "Silent mode" on first line and then some more text
(kind of help/current settings) for this option
and still CheckBox itself is aligned in the center of all the lines
(may be on left or right side).
Is that can be done by only one control/widget or group of many
controls/widgets?
I can only think of by using table but it is complex. I tried
android:contentDescription but it did not work. Looks like it is for
accessibility.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,

2. button placement problem
Hey guys,
I am trying to get a button at bottom of a screen having a list view.
This button is non-scrollable and the list view slips below the button
if it is larger than the size of the button. Could someone please help
me get the right xml properties. Tried layout_gravity and other things
but it doesnt seems to be displaying.
Here is the main.xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textViewHello"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/hello"
/>
<LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="horizontal">
<Button
android:id="@+id/Button1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:textSize="15sp"
android:typeface="monospace"
android:textColor="#ffFFffFF"
android:text="@string/Button1"
</Button>
<Button
android:id="@+id/Button2"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:textSize="15sp"
android:typeface="monospace"
android:textColor="#ffFFffFF"
android:text="@string/Button2"
</Button>
<Button
android:id="@+id/Button3"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:textSize="15sp"
android:typeface="monospace"
android:textColor="#ffFFffFF"
android:text="@string/Button3"
</Button>
<Button
android:id="@+id/Button4"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:textSize="15sp"
android:typeface="monospace"
android:textColor="#ffFFffFF"
android:text="@string/Button4"
</Button>
</LinearLayout>
<ListView
android:id="@android:id/list"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:drawSelectorOnTop="false"
/>
<Button android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/Button4"
android:text="@string/hello"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:isScrollContainer="false" />
</LinearLayout>
Here is the list xml file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android=
"http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:layout_width="22px"
android:paddingLeft="2px"
android:paddingRight="2px"
android:paddingTop="2px"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="@drawable/icon"/>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/label1"
android:layout_width="100px"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="10sp"/>
<TextView

</LinearLayout>
<TextView

android:layout_width="100px"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="40px"
android:textSize="15sp"
android:text="hello"
/>
<ImageView

android:paddingLeft="2px"
android:paddingRight="2px"
android:paddingTop="2px"

</LinearLayout>
