Android - don't refresh Google Maps v2 on rotation

Question

When I rotate my device, Google Maps v2 refreshes. How do I prevent this refresh from occurring? I'm adding the map dynamically in a tab of a SherlockFragment.

Answer 1

I fixed the problem by adding to the Activity in AndroidManifest.xml:

android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize"

Edit (04/28/2017) :

From the Android Documentation:

Note: Using this attribute should be avoided and used only as a last resort. Please read Handling Runtime Changes for more information about how to properly handle a restart due to a configuration change.

Maybe you could look at this answer, which properly saves the SupportMapFragment using the Bundle available in the onCreate method of FragmentActivity.
