title: Listview special adapter change column background orientation change
body: <p>I have the following problem. 
  The list shows well in portrait mode. 
  But when i switch to landscape, the background of items get scrambled/reverse order. </p>
  
  <p>For example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>column 1  Column2(a)    Column 3(b) Column 4(c)
  1         2(red)        3           4
  12        36(orange)    87(red)     32
  94        55            44          23(orange)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now i turn to landscape and my list looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>column 1  Column2(a)    Column 3(b) Column 4(c)
  1         2             3           4(orange)
  12        36(orange)    87(red)     32
  94        55(red)       44          23
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the data stays the same, the background colors are switched.</p>
  
  <p>inside my specialadapter i have a getView like this:
   SpecAdapter_list.java</p>
  
  <pre><code>   public class SpecAdapter_list extends SimpleAdapter {
  
  
          public SpecAdapter_list(Context context, List&lt;HashMap&lt;String, String&gt;&gt; items, int resource, String[] from, int[] to) {
              super(context, items, resource, from, to);
          }
      @Override
          public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
            View view = super.getView(position, convertView, parent);
             if (convertView == null)
             {
  
              // i have a listitem.xml wich lays-out each row in the list.
              // several textviews are hidden.
              // i check these hidden textviews on specific text.
              // if it has the text, we change the background of a specific column item.
  
                TextView c1 = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.c1);
