Prevent activity from reload after rotation in xamarin, monodroid

Question

Ok... So my problem is to prevent from activity to reload after orientation is changed. Basically, what I did is this:

[Activity(Label = \"migs\", ConfigurationC         


        

Answer 1

what happen when orientation change (consider you enable rotation in your phone) ?

Android restart activity onDestroy() is called, followed by onCreate() , you can distinguish between onDestroy() call to kill activity or restart app throw old answer.

Prevent Activity restart

just set ConfigurationChanges to both Orientation , ScreenSize

[Activity (Label = "CodeLayoutActivity", ConfigurationChanges=Android.Content.PM.ConfigChanges.Orientation | Android.Content.PM.ConfigChanges.ScreenSize)]

why this may be not working ?

I dont think this will not working but set RetaintInstance to true read more about RetainInstance

class myFragment: Fragment
    {

        public override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
        {
            base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);
            this.RetainInstance = true;
          // this to change screen orientation 
            Activity.RequestedOrientation = ScreenOrientation.Landscape;


        }

       .....

}

hope this help
