Is there a way I can prevent an app from going to the home screen when orientation is changed?

I snap a photo, and it gets placed onto an ImageView. When the user sees the page where the Image View is, and I turn the phone sideways where the orientation is horizontal, the app immediately returns to the app's main screen. Any ideas?

Solution

  • Rotating the phone recreates the activity. Implementing the onSaveInstanceState() and onCreate() methods to properly save and restore the state of the activity should fix the problem.
