Handle orientation change android

Question

I am having a requirement where there are several buttons in a activity, and clicking on one will change the background. The activity refreshes on orientation change. Then i included, android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|screenSize" which solves the problem, but i have separate screens for portrait and landscape modes, this saves the state and do not pick the layout for landscape when the orientation is changes. Please guide how i can change the orientation but still prevent the activity refresh and thus saving the clicked button and background color.
