Activity restarts even after android:configChanges is set in Manifest

[Naishadh Parmar]

I have an activity and I DON'T want it to restart when its orientation changes.

i wrote this in the activity tag of the Manifest file:

android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|keyboard"

and also implemented the onConfigurationChanged(Configuration) method

But still the activity restarts!!!

Please help me out.

What minSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion values are you using in the manifest (if any)?

Hi Ulf. Thanks for the reply

minSdkVersion = 8
targetSdkVersion = 8
