Think of it this way. If the orientation is flipped, the layout has to be rebuilt to match the new screen dimensions. The only way you might be able to disable it is if you were to fix the orientation for the screen in the Manifest file.
As most people on here are going to tell you: You need to handle your app restarting anyway, because there are more things than just keyboard flips that will kill your app. So think of it as a notice that, yes, you do need some robust onPause()/onStop() methods for saving and restoring state. And flipping the keyboard is a debug "feature" that means you don't have to simulate the app suddenly dying for no reason.
