Just posting this since this is a major concerns faced in both work and interviews :) Before API 13 we were using onRetainNonConfigurationInstance() which is deprecated (This method was relate to Activity which is now moved in to fragment)and now we have a new method know as setRetainInstance() (method part of fragment class)this will save the state of fragments even after the activity creation.
