05-29 05:56:52.158: E/AndroidRuntime(1428): java.lang.Runt         


        

Answer 1

Add this line to all your activities to avoid crash with orientation changes. This will avoid the activity being loaded again and again on orientation changes.

For a little more information what you actually do with configChanges here the link to the Android documentation.

Lists configuration changes that the activity will handle itself. When a configuration change occurs at runtime, the activity is shut down and restarted by default, but declaring a configuration with this attribute will prevent the activity from being restarted. Instead, the activity remains running and its onConfigurationChanged() method is called.

Note: Using this attribute should be avoided and used only as a last resort. Please read Handling Runtime Changes for more information about how to properly handle a restart due to a configuration change.

And how to handle configuration changes you can find here.
