Rotation issues are usually to do with the activity being recreated (i.e. onCreate is called again) as the screen size has changed. There is a config to disable this however: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/runtime-...



It's usually better to implement onSaveInstanceState and onRestoreInstanceState.

If you mean configChanges, I would strongly recommend against it because it is a bad practice and it probably wouldn't work in this case anyway (no activity recreation = no multi-panel layout on a 7-inch landscape screen).


Ah, sorry I haven't done Android dev in a while; would a better way be yock's onSaveInstanceState/onRestoreInstanceState then?


Yes, something like that in combination with carrying over the existing list data with an retained fragment.
