I've had this same problem too and actually posted to the mailing list a few weeks ago but got not responses:
https://groups.google.com/d/topic/android-developers/6GfbdsJIj9k/discussion I was testing it on hardware by simply rotating the phone, changing the orientation and recreating the activity. However, the problem occurred randomly for me; it was very hard to reproduce as instance state would be restored after most orientation changes. On a handful of occasions, the instance state would be wiped out as my UI would display as if started anew. I have no solution so far. I did a search some time back on the Android issues list at Google Code to see if it was a known bug, but I found nothing. One workaround would be to persistently store the state which you wish to be restored in onPause. If the state bundles in onCreate or onRestoreInstanceState are not filled, you could restore from persistent state. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
