Android - What is the right way to save/restore a ListView adapter? [duplicate]

Question

I was looking at the way Android handles orientation change for my application (I discovered that it restarts the mainactivity on orientation change. I've seen that you can override the method

protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState)

To save stuff, then have the in onStart. The problem is that I've my view with custom objects and a listview using a custom adapter. Everything is in a ArrayList of these objects, but I've noticed that you can't put arbitrary objects in the bundle! So how do I save the state?

Answer 1

Have you tried using: its work around ,

<activity name= ".YourActivity" android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize"/>

in Manifest file?

It does not work by default because , when you change the orientation onCreate will be called again and it redraws your view.

If you write this parameter no need to handle in Activity , the framework will take care of rest of things. It will retain the state of the screen or layout if orientation is changed.

NOTE If you are using a different layout for landscape mode , by adding these parameters the layout for landscape mode will not be called.
