I don't think it's a 'technical restriction' at all. Your onCreate() method might have drawn itself differently, depending on the screen orientation. Just because you have no use for this doesn't mean that no one else would. Just use onSaveInstanceState to persist your app state, then restore it in onCreate. If you do this, users will be able to leave your app entirely, and come back to it without interruption. cheers, - -- ᛏᚠᛖᚾᚱᛁᛊᚢᛚᚠᚱᛏ ᛏᚢᛚᚠᛊᛚᛖᛁᚠᚨᚱᛏ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkjs63UACgkQNig/07RbnEv3pgCeNJ0KjWRxlE7i7PNsHpC21ZaB qJwAn0hJNkfdK9yfvEu6J1lL14JZBLxJ =jJTC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
