How to prevent custom views from losing state across screen orientation changes

Question

I\'ve successfully implemented onRetainNonConfigurationInstance() for my main Activity to save and restore certain critical components across screen orientation

Answer 1

I think this is a much simpler version. Bundle is a built-in type which implements Parcelable

public class CustomView extends View
{
  private int stuff; // stuff

  @Override
  public Parcelable onSaveInstanceState()
  {
    Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
    bundle.putParcelable("superState", super.onSaveInstanceState());
    bundle.putInt("stuff", this.stuff); // ... save stuff 
    return bundle;
  }

  @Override
  public void onRestoreInstanceState(Parcelable state)
  {
    if (state instanceof Bundle) // implicit null check
    {
      Bundle bundle = (Bundle) state;
      this.stuff = bundle.getInt("stuff"); // ... load stuff
      state = bundle.getParcelable("superState");
    }
    super.onRestoreInstanceState(state);
  }
}
