Android: Save variables and settings on rotation

Question

Is there a way to save variables that are being changed in the code, when the screen rotates? Thank you in advance

Answer 1

You can save values into the instanceState Bundle when stopping an activity and restoring it when you start it. Like this:

@Override
protected void onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onRestoreInstanceState(savedInstanceState);
    // Read values from the "savedInstanceState"
}

@Override
protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
    // Save the values you need into "outState"
    super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
}
