hi, i have a question regarding rotation.

I am looking into using:

    android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"

in my manifest file for an activity in my application.  that of course
is accompanied with --

    @Override
    public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
        super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
        setContentView(R.layout.myContentView);
    }

I am doing this for a layout that has a landscape version of that
layout as well (i.e. I have a myContentView.xml in layout-land
directory).  The issue is that when I do this, sometimes it appears as
though it doesn't render properly when going to landscape mode.  I
have two edit boxes on that page that sometimes don't appear.  Usually
it works, but sometimes they just disappear (or are off screen?).
Anyway, I can't figure out why they don't get rendered.  Any ideas on
what i need to be doing here to make them render consistently?

My follow up question is why shouldn't I just do this for every
activity (assuming it worked :-)?  Then I could avoid much of the
complexity surrounding activity lifecycle (I saw some issues regarding
menus, but it seems like that could be overcome).

tia.
