Remark: posted a question to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5484108/android-double-lifecycle-sequence-from-landscape-to-portrait. RSVP there. Thank you
Hi everybody I'm monitoring an Activity lifecycle to learn more on it, so I put a Log.d()call in almost every method of the cycle. I'm watching particularly the sequence: [A]onSaveInstanceState() - onPause() - onStop() - onDestroy() - onStart() - [B]onRestoreInstanceState() <http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html#ActivityLifecycle> Switching a 2.2 Froyo emulator with Ctrl-F11 from *portrait to landscape* I can see *one* round from [A] to [B]. What is strange to me is that switching back *from landscape to portrait* I can see *two* round from [A] to [B]. onSaveInstanceState() - onPause() - onStop() - onDestroy() - onStart() - onRestoreInstanceState() onSaveInstanceState() - onPause() - onStop() - onDestroy() - onStart() - onRestoreInstanceState() This is creating me lots of issues in saving/restoring the activity state. Using a 2.3.3 Gingerbread emulator the sequence runs only once. But 2.3.3 emulator has a known bug that prevents it from rotating correctly! StackOverflow user @Reflog told me that "Rotation in emulator is different from Accelerator rotation. It actually simulates an open-keyboard. These are two different events, which cause two different lify-cycle flows." According to Using the Android Emulator<http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/devices/emulator.html>there exist only Ctrl-F11/F12 to "Swith to previous/next layout orientation". Is it not an Accelerator rotation key? How can be it emulated? What are this "different lifecycle" flows?
