I have an application that I am trying to stop the automatic restart when the screen is rotated. I put android:configChanges="orientation| keyboardHidden" into the Manifest (copied below) but the screen still rotates and the OnCreate is called (verified by writing to the log in OnCreate). Have I missed something else that is required to stop this default action?
The reason I want to do this is that the app is accessing a webserver via an AsyncTask and I'd like to stop the restart until I can figure out how to link the background task to the new pid that is created. I've read some pages on it but not yet clear how to do that. Sorry for maybe some terminology that isn't correct. Hopefully the issue is clear though. Thanks for any pointers to information that may help.
