As pointed out by Yalla T it is important to not recreate the fragment. The EditText will not lose its content if the existing fragment is reused.

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    // setContentView(R.layout.activity_frame);
    getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);

    // Display the fragment as the main content.
    // Do not do this. It will recreate the fragment on orientation change!
    // getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(android.R.id.content, new Fragment_Places()).commit();

    // Instead do this
    String fragTag = "fragUniqueName";
    FragmentManager fm = getSupportFragmentManager();
    Fragment fragment = (Fragment) fm.findFragmentByTag(fragTag);
    if (fragment == null)
        fragment = new Fragment_XXX(); // Here your fragment
    FragmentTransaction ft = fm.beginTransaction();
    // ft.setCustomAnimations(R.xml.anim_slide_in_from_right, R.xml.anim_slide_out_left,
    // R.xml.anim_slide_in_from_left, R.xml.anim_slide_out_right);
    ft.replace(android.R.id.content, fragment, fragTag);
    // ft.addToBackStack(null); // Depends on what you want to do with your back button
    ft.commit();
