When device configurations changes during runtime (such as screen orientation, keyboard availability, and language) then Android restarts the running Activity (onDestroy() is called, followed by onCreate()).
As a result user loses saved data on screen, some other unwanted behavior, this makes bad user experience.
My solution handle below case – I cannot fix the orientation as done below, user must be able to use application in both the mode landscape and portrait.
Before proceeding to tutorial make sure than device screen rotation is on from settings.
Lets handle such scenario and see the impact in both the cases-
A. Retaining an Object During a Configuration Change - Let activity be recreated, handled data manually.
B. Handle the configuration change yourself - Prevent Activity to recreated - This is not recommended by Android.
