Android, how to not destroy the activity when I rotate the device?

by

For API 12 and below: add

android:configChanges="orientation"

Add “screenSize” if you are targeting API 13 or above because whenever your orientation changes so does your screen size, otherwise new devices will continue to destroy your activity. See Egg’s answer below for more information on using “screenSize”

android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize"

to your Activity in AndroidManifest.xml. This way your Activity wont be restarted automatically. See the documentation for more infos
