So there are lots of SO posts on this topic but neither working in my case.
Orientation is not calling any method of activity.
I tried all possible ways mentioned like:
Putting android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|screenSize" in the calling activity.
Then putting onConfigurationChanged method as:
@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration conf) {
super.onConfigurationChanged(conf);
System.out.println("on onConfigurationChanged called..............");
}
But its not getting called.
onCreate(), onResume(), onRestoreInstanceState() methods are also not getting called when I do change the screen orientation.
Further, I changed the sdk versions and target versions but without success.
UPDATE:
My part of activity from manifest from activity is:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.wassap.main"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="16"/>
<activity
android:name=".UserActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:launchMode="singleTask"
android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|screenSize" >
</activity>
Relevant UserActivity XML-
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:clickable="true"
android:onClick="buildDocument">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/title"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Build Document">
</TextView>
</LinearLayout>
UserActivity class is the class in which I do orientation after onClick buildDocument.
When I am in UserActivity, probably by a click of buildDocument, I also noticed that destroy() method is also not called when I go back clicking on back button.
All in all, no life cycle method seems to be getting called.
