thanks I have made the changes your link suggests, and my app is working as expected when I switch from portrait to landscape, but now when I switch back to portrait it forcecloses. The logcat is spitting out all kinds of errors when this happen, most notability one that says android.view.WindowLeaked: activity name has leaked window com.android.internal.policy.impl.phonewin...@decorview@437af970 that was originally added here
