Ah i missedunderstood what that meant! Thanks very much. How do I use more than one variable though?
I have tried it as follows: android:configChanges=["keyboard", "keyboardHidden", "orientation"] But it wont compile for me I get: AndroidManifest.xml: Open quote is expected for attribute "android:configChanges" associated with an element type "activity". Error in an XML file: aborting build. in the console.
