Android: Stop Recreating the activity on orientation change

I have a listview with two buttons in my main.xml layout. On click of one button i'am creating a textview dynamically and adding it at the bottom of the screen to confirm the user interaction. When the user clicks 2nd button (Confirm button), i need to add that text to listview. To support landscape mode, i have the same layout file in layout-land folder. When i click on 1st button it is creating a textview with some text and adding at bottom of the screen. Now if a change the device orientation then it is loading the landscape main.xml and activity is recreating again. So my textview is getting collapsed. How can i prevent that the recreation of activity on orientation change. (But it should pick up the other layout file).

Solution

  • Just edit the Activity Tag in androidmanifest.xml.

    <activity
            android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation"
            android:name=".testActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name"></activity>
