Compose makes handling configuration changes much simpler through its declarative nature. You can:
1. Use WindowSizeClass API to respond to window size changes
2. Use BoxWithConstraints for size-dependent layouts
3. Leverage adaptive layouts with WindowInsets API
4. Use different composables based on Configuration.orientation
The recommended approach is to design responsive layouts that adapt to available space rather than specific orientations. Check out the Adaptive Layouts in Compose guide for best practices.
