Thank you everyone for the great insight on this issue. I tried the simple -down and dirty workaround by adding android:configChanges=orientation|keyboardHidden to the activity tag in the manifest. This did in fact work as the data persisted after rotation. However, as many have pointed out, this

I'm compiling a list of things that need to happen in both cases. So far it looks like a lot bigger challenge to not use the android:configChanges than to use it. I've read the optimization post plenty of times and do understand it, but I'd like to get the big picture for the usages of both to

*TreKing,* This is true, but he didn't ask about that. He just asked about a way for an EditText to keep the text it has on a rotate. The easiest and fastest way to solve that particular problem is the configChanges XML attribute. You'll note that I said their may be a need for other options

Add this to your activity tag in the AndroidManifest.xml android:configChanges=orientation|keyboardHidden That will fix you up unless you have some other specifics set like different XML layouts for portrait and landscape. If you do, you may want to use the bundle or just change the view
