Well I got your point on creation. So I did some more digging/ experimentation and am pretty sure it is calling on the same Activity and same Spinner instance i.e. the newly created instance after the orientation change. I did this by putting a count in activity and also printing the references.
Yes I am using Fragments in my program but for this isolated spinner test I was just using the tutorial which does not use fragments (Just to keep things simple as well as use the code of the creators...which I assume to be correct...:)). Well right now I am just doing nothing to get over this ( at least Loaders are smart and for other things lets see how they work out) but the behavior is in-consistent (even though i rule out, not adhering to api documentation (which clearly says will be called only if the selection changes))...:) Thanks for discussing...one always learn new things this way.
