Data loss while spinning screen

Question

I’m developing an Android APP, in it you type some values in Edittext. But when you turn the phone to change the orientation the Edittext data is lost. How do I resolve?

Answer 1

Use put methods to store values in onSaveInstanceState:

protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle extra) {
  super.onSaveInstanceState(extra);
  extra.putString("text", "your text here");
}

And restore in onCreate:

public void onCreate(Bundle extra) {
  if (extra != null) {
    String value = extra.getString("text");
  }
}

Finally, remove from the manifest android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"
