Cheers. I think you're right, but this looks just plain wrong. If there was a reason for the double Activity creation it should at least happen in both cases, not just in the landscape to portrait case. Its actually a little worse than that, because I came across this when chasing a "bug" in some code which was causing the width in an onLayout () call to *sometimes* come in as 0, which it turns out is this spurious lifecycle event.
