I've seen this happen in a number of places when uploading images. The
basic issue is that there are two ways to save a rotated image: save the
raster data in the correct orientation and without metadata, or save the
raster data in its native orientation and set the metadata value to

color of various views to distinct noticeable colors, like pink, cyan, etc.
In this case, I'd try the view pager itself, its parent view, and your

Yes, and that's what's so frustrating, Kastya. The breakpoints appear to

setCurrentItem(3), my instantiateItem is called with position=3, followed

Any clues on where to look? I've implemented a FragmentPagerAdapter
elsewhere with no issues, but this does seem like it would be easier,
especially since these views have no controls on them (just data).

You are not very specific about what you are doing, but in general the
container section of your layout -- the RelativeLayout part -- would
be set to match_parent, but a typical widget such as a Button would
be set to wrap_content because you don't want it to be any larger
than it has to be.
Rony, you are correct, but of course if (savedInstanceState != null)
then I'd need to use the manager findFragmentByTag call to find these
recreated fragments since I need to be able to add them to their
container view and also to be able to call custom methods that update
the displayed data, etc.
To wrap this up, I've found that the arguments sent to the fragment
with setArguments are preserved when the fragment is reinstantiated by
the framework. So what I'm now doing is only creating a new fragment
if there is no previous one after a config-change restart. For
example:
