[android-developers] Re: Droid slide event callback method
Sorry, yes, by the slide, I meant the hardware keyboard. Now, if this is indeed an orientation change event, in theory it shouldn't be breaking my app since I have fixed the orientation to portrait in my application xml. Or maybe there is some kind of override on Droid phones related to the orientation...

What is the slide? I don't have the phone and can't test it. I was wondering if anyone know what kind of event occurs and if any activity callback method is called for those events. If the slide is the hardware keyboard, that is an orientation change. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy)http://commonsware.com|http://github.com/commonsguyhttp://commonsware.com/blog|http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to *Advanced* Android Development_ Version 1.9 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Actually, you fixed the *display* to portrait. This means that if the user changes the device orientation, your display does not change orientation to match. However, your activity will still be destroyed and recreated. Why this is, I have no idea. So, you still need to do something to deal with orientation changes (onSaveInstanceState(), onRetainNonConfigurationInstance(), etc.). Perhaps there is a bug somewhere in your activity in this area. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to *Advanced* Android Development_ Version 1.9 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Droid slide event callback method
Thanks for that. Since my app is fixed to portrait, I now prevent onCreate being called on orientation change by setting android:configChanges=orientation|keyboardHidden in the app xml. This will hopefully fix it.
