Of course I'm guessing, but I think you should change the way you transfer the new date/time value to the text widget.
In the activity, say A1, you create the dialog and give it a reference to the text field of A1. When the device is rotated, the activity is recreated (=> A2), but the dialog is not (due to this.setRetainInstance(true);). I.e. the dialog still references the text field of A1, but you see the activity A2. That's probably the cause of the observed behavior. As far as I understand it, the way to go is to add a "setDateTimeField()" method to the activity and to replace the code in the onClick method of the dialog with something like "((MyActivityClass)getActivity()).setDateTimeField(curDateTime()). GetActivity() will return the current/correct activity since the dialog will be attached to new activity as part of the configuration change. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
