Answer 1

This is happening because when screen orientation rotates the Activity gets re-started. In this case you can add configChanges attribute in your tag in the AndroidManifest file to stop the re-creation of the Activity.

By, this also it won't stop though the orientation changes.

@Override
    public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
        super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
        if(newConfig.orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE){
            setContentView(R.layout.login_landscape);
        }
        else if (newConfig.orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT) {
            setContentView(R.layout.login);         
        }
    }
