Android - onTextChanged() called on when phone orientation is changed

Answer 1

You need to override onConfigurationChanged method to get callback whenever orientation is getting changed.

@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
    super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);

    if (newConfig.orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) {
        // landscape
    } else if (newConfig.orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT) {
        // portrait
    }
}

Add below line in manifest

android:configChanges= "orientation"

Now based on the callback you can do whatever you wanted to do.
