Hint:
Your Activity object is destroyed and then recreated on a rotation. This
means that all your *new* Activity's fields have been set to 0/false/null

Read the documentation about the `onSaveInstanceState(...)` method and how
this stores data in the `savedInstanceState` parameter of the onCreate(...).
