The entire application does not restart, but the activity is indeed destroyed and recreated. This happens so that you can use alternative resources (using, for instance, res/layout-land or res/drawable-land) in your application. It is the correct, default behavior for all apps and certainly not an issue. Most system apps (like the Home screen, Alarm Clock or Calculator) work that way. Unless your app really is not meant for landscape mode (which could be the case for a game for instance), I would really advise you to NOT work around this. A cool thing about Android is that most apps work in both orientation and apps that don't support orientation change can be surprising or even frustrating to the user. -- Romain Guy www.curious-creature.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
