Sure you did. Please read: http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/app/Activity.html#ConfigurationChanges What happens when an orientation change occurs is that the current activity is destroyed, and a new one created. So if you have bugs in how you handle being destroyed (not correctly closing dialogs, stopping message pumps) or in how it is re-created from its previously saved state (not retrieving the state and performing its initialization based on that), then you will have bugs during an orientation change. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
