Android - don't refresh Google Maps v2 on rotation

Question

When I rotate my device, Google Maps v2 refreshes. How do I prevent this refresh from occurring? I\'m adding the map dynamically in a tab of a SherlockFragment.

Answer 1

You can't, the map is getting refreshed because the Activity is getting re-created on configuration changes (screen rotations...). You could prevent the rotation of the Activity by using:

android:screenOrientation="landscape"

or

android:screenOrientation="portrait"

in the Manifest file under your map Activity.

and this way prevent it from being recreated on rotations.
