I am new in android and want to know how to add landscape mode in android can anyone tell me about the easiest way to do that. I'm looking for a way that is very simple.

I have a simplest way to add a landscape mode (add landscape folder, landscape xml file and code) in android studio. You just have to click one or two times to do that.
when you are in xml file opened look at the right there is a preview panel that show your device click the button and click on switch to layout-land. It Automatically adds layout_land.xml file into your file structure AND also opens it in code & preview.
Check the image below...

Is there a quick and easy way to see how my application will look on different screen sizes and shapes? Currently, I'm going into the AVD manager, editing my device definition, and then launching a fresh emulator. It takes maybe ten minutes for each one.
They layout is defined entirely from resource files. I don't actually need to execute the app. Is there a faster way to do this?
Edit: I should add: there are some custom widgets in the app.
While looking at a layout open the "Design" tab or open the "Preview" tab on the side. On the top of the window you will see a list where you can change the layout and orientation.
May not solve your entire issue, but it's a good to know.
If you want to have a preview of a static page (not rendered at runtime, like recyclerview), you could use android studio to do that.
I'm beginner in Android programming.

I have a simplest way to add a landscape Orientation with landscape folder , landscape xml file and code in simple 2 clicks Take a look at This Example Code Hope it will help you.
I would like to have different activity.xml files for different orientations.
I have created a another folder with name layout-land. When I copy and paste the activity_main.xml file into it, then screen size is automatically getting oriented to landscape.
But after doing this, code assist is not working. Its showing the following error when I press ctrl+s
Content assist not available at the current location
what is the reason for this? Did I do anything wrong for creating different layouts for both orientation?
This sounds like an IDE-specific issue more than anything. The way you're doing it is correct. Assuming you a layout with the same name in as the other inside of layout-land, you should be good to go. Just give it a whirl.
Sounds like an Eclipse error to me (Googling "Content assist not available at the current location gives me a lot of hits); try running your application on a device and it will most likely work. It doesn't sound like you've done anything wrong.
I developed a application. In that i get GUI perfect in portrait, but when i tern my emulator(pressing Ctrl+F11) some text and buttons will be miss ordered. i searched so many sites but i am not get the solution.
Please any one give a solution.
Thank You.
For solving these problem you should make two layout for different different
1-: create a new folder in side the resource is layout-land then put your layout for landscape in this folder.
2-: another one is use for portrait mode its put in layout folder.
you can create your application to support landscape mode by creating different layouts.
simply you can create a folder in your res folder like this -> /res/layout-land and copy your layouts and make necessary changes(for landscape) to it.
please read the documentation for further details

Wondering how I do build a layout with self rearranging button, when the user turns his device from portrait to landscape, using relativelayout ?
I do not want to use scrolling on my layout and I have a lot of buttons
You can provide two different main.xml (or any layout xml file) Place one in res/layout/ and one in res/layout-land/ When the device switches orientation the system will handle the "magic" of switching to the appropriate file.
Here is some documentation about supporting these type of behaviors...
If I'm understanding your question correctly what you are looking to do is have one layout displayed for portrait mode and another for landscape mode. This is actually fairly easy to accomplish.
