android-configchanges

I have managed to get Video capture to work for a custom camera experience (i.e. using MediaRecorder, Camera, SurfaceView, etc.). But if I am recording a video and change the orientation of the device, video capture stops. Is there way to continue the capture after the orientation change? If fact I want the capture to continue no matter how many times the orientation changes. I imagine it might all have to do with savedInstanceState and saving the file that I pass to mRecorder.setOutputFile(my file) . If that's correct, what else am I missing? Or is there a more standard way to handle

I am using ActionBarSherlock, along with several MenuItem s that I dynamically manage, depending on program state. Specifically, I save the MenuItem s into instance variables in the Activity 's onCreateOptionsMenu() method, and then can show and/or hide them as needed later in the Activity . However, I found that the MenuItem variables can be lost on configuration changes, such as device rotation. So I also put them into a Parcel and pass them to onSaveInstanceState() for restoral through the savedInstanceState mechanism in the next onCreate() call, if needed. This seems to work fine in the

Update: It turns out that the problem is from elsewhere. Thanks @Luksprog for pointing out what I overlooked. The project is created using Android Studio's navigation drawer pattern. The drawer is implemented in the NavigationDrawerFragment class. The fragment holding the view pager is added when a particular item in the drawer is selected. The code is implemented my home activity. When screen rotates, the onCreate() method of NavigationDrawerFragment is called, preserving last selected item. And here is what went wrong - upon recreation, NavigationDrawerFragment will call selectItem() again,

I want to know when the keyboard is closed, so I'm using android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden" . I have to override the method onConfigurationChanged , but nothing seems to happen. Am I doing something wrong? yeradis watching the date , possibly you have a solution for your question, otherwise: Here is the same response i made to another question related : Is there a way to tell if the soft-keyboard is shown? but i copy a portion of the response here to avoid dead links: Here is a specific sample : Check for a better understand http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources

I've noticed that onLayout and onSizeChanged get called twice in immediate succession after an orientation change, either from landscape->portrait or from portrait->landscape, when handling the configuration change from an Activity. Furthermore, the first onLayout/onSizeChanged contain the old dimensions (before the rotate), while the 2nd onLayout/onSizeChanged contain the new (correct) dimensions. Does anyone know why, and/or how to work around this? It seems like perhaps the screen size change happens quite some time after the configuration change - i.e., the dimensions are not correct

I'm having a really weird problem. I have a common fragment that is added in almost every activity of my app. This fragment shows a small version of the player bar. So it listens some broadcasts to update the current music's name and has some controls, like play/pause. Like I said, I add this fragment in almost every activity of my app and I've never had any problem with it. But now, I needed to create a new Fragment that has no UI and that is retained (setRetainInstance(true)). After the addition of this new Fragment, everything seemed to be ok. Until I rotated the device and the activity
