Answer 1

The quick and dirty route would be to handle the orientation change yourself. If your application doesn't have a different layout for landscape and portrait, then this is a good route to take. Here's how.

Add android:configChanges="orientation" to your Activity in the AndroidManifest.

The other thing you can do is make sure your onSaveInstanceState is persisting the camera data and any other data you may be using so that when the application reloads itself, you can reload that data in onRestoreInstanceState. If you share your LogCat errors, you'd probably see a NullPointerException which is because the data is being lost on the rotate. I'd put my money its the camera data.
