Answer 1

I solved this problem using OnSaveInstanceState() and OnRestoreInstanceState()

@Override
    protected void onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle state){
        super.onRestoreInstanceState(state);
        name_array.addAll(state.getStringArrayList("key"));
        setListAdapter(arrayAdapter);
        arrayAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState){
        super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
        outState.putStringArrayList("key",name_array);
    }

name_array is hold in ArrayAdapter arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter(this ,R.layout.item,name_array);

Now when you change from landscape to portrait and reverse, data aren't los
