First I got to apologize for that double posting. I got impatient since it took so long for the message to appear.
In the meantime I figured it out myself, indeed using android:configChanges within the Activity tag in the AndroidManifest. Now it works like a charm. Having solved this, a new question arises: how can I securely exit the app when it loses focus, i.e. the user returns to the homescreen? I don't want no background process.
