onDestroy() called when a in activity landscape mode android

Question

When an app activity is in landscape mode, and when a call comes in, the call will make the scene to portrait mode,

  @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_start_jum);

        this.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);

}

after the call, the activity in the app that was in landscape mode gets destroy and created again.

D/StartJumActivity: onPause
D/StartJumActivity: onResume
D/StartJumActivity: onPause
D/StartJumActivity: onDestroy
D/StartJumActivity: on Create

The data in my activity gets removed and new activity is created. Is there any way to retain those data in that activity in landscape mode after returning from the call?

Answer 1

You could try forcing the orientation of the Activity in the manifest:

android:screenOrientation="landscape"

This may prevent the Activity from being destroyed and recreated.

Another alternative would be to tell Android that you will handle the orientation change yourself and not to recreate your Activity on an orientation change. To do that add

android:configChanges="orientation"

to the manifest declaration for your Activity. Now, when the screen orientation occurs, your Activity will not be destroyed and recreated. Instead, onConfigurationChange() will be called.
