Android onConfigurationChanged not being called

by

This was my gremlin for the ~same problem:

Caution: Beginning with Android 3.2 (API level 13), the “screen size”
also changes when the device switches between portrait and landscape
orientation. Thus, if you want to prevent runtime restarts due to
orientation change when developing for API level 13 or higher (as
declared by the minSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion attributes), you
must include the “screenSize” value in addition to the “orientation”
value. That is, you must decalare
android:configChanges=”orientation|screenSize”. However, if your
application targets API level 12 or lower, then your activity always
handles this configuration change itself (this configuration change
does not restart your activity, even when running on an Android 3.2 or
higher device).

(From http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/runtime-changes.html)

TL;DR: add “|screenSize” to android:configChanges=”orientation” for API 14+
