Add support for landscape orientation

[karora]

Hi,

I use FileExplorer on several tablets and it works well, but found it frustrating that it only worked in portrait mode, especially on my Asus Transformer when I had the keyboard connected...

This patch enables landscape (sensor) orientation, adjusting the CategoryBar to operate vertically in this case.

Thanks for your hard work :-)

Regards, Andrew McMillan.

Karora, thanks for your commit. But, i find a little problem:if enter one of the categories, such as music category, then i change the orientation, the app back to homepage.

Hi,

Maintaining state across orientation change is a different class of problem than the one I solved here.

I've met my immediate need with my fork now, and thought others might also want to see it. Unfortunately I will not have time to make any changes to store the state in the onPause and re-load it in the onResume, but perhaps someone with a more detailed knowledge of the app's internals would be better able to do that in any case.

I hope you accept this patch, in any case, and it doesn't suffer as a victim of "perfect is the enemy of good", but rather follows in the "release early, release often" tradition of open source.

Regards, Andrew McMillan.
