Retaining list in list fragment on orientation change

Question

I have an app using fragments, all of which are contained in a single activity. The activity starts with a fragment containing a menu of buttons, all of which cause various lis

I know that this has been resolved a long time ago, but for the sake of people searching for a solution who have as much issues as I've (repeatedly) had with retaining lists during an orientation change I would like to add that you could also use a custom class which holds the list of data for your listadapter.

This way it keeps the data when recreating the activity (and listfragment) and you can just test to see if it has any data in your oncreate. If the list == null or the list.size < 0 you proceed as usual and get the data whatever way you normally get it. Otherwise you just set your listadapter with the data it already has.

To me this is a lot easier, and seeing as Eclipse automatically creates a similar DummyContent class for your data when creating an android master/detail flow project it basically only requires a change of the oncreate of your listfragment.
