I've got an activity that is in a landscape mode - it's a player. Whenever 
I hit display-off button activity gets recreated and the screen goes black. 
After that I hit display-on to bring the interface back and the activity 
gets recreated again.

I guess this is because on my samsung i9001 display button not only shuts 
down the display but also brings that system-desktop to the foreground - so 
it's the first orientation change that causes activity recreation. 
Furthermore, when display gets active again and the activity starts it 
needs to change orientation/create activity again(not sure about it).

My question is how do I prevent the first recreation of the activity when I 
hit display-off. Is it possible ?


P.S. Additionaly I'm worried that shutting down the display and recreating 
the activity might cause ineficient resource usage since usual 
action-sequence of the activity is to load data and start the playback. I 
think I can overcome it with some sort of boolean flag - but how do I set 
it exactly - watch for key codes ?
