Android CheckedTextView state

Question

I've following problem: I've create custom Android class for CheckedTextView:

public class CustomCheckedTextView extends CheckedTextView {
    public CustomCheckedTextView(Context context) {
        super(context);
                this.setOnClickListener (new View.OnClickListener() {

                    @Override
                    public void onClick(View v) {
                        ((CheckedTextView) v) .toggle();
                        if (isChecked()){
                            setBackgroundColor(Color.GREEN);
                        } else {
                            setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);
                        }
                        }

            }) ;
        }
}

And use it in main activity as following:

 LinearLayout llayout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.linearLayout1);
 final CustomCheckedTextView checkedTV = new CustomCheckedTextView(this);
 llayout.addView(checkedTV)

So I can tap on CustomCheckedTextView and background will be Green. But when I rotate phone background become white again. Why it's happens?

when you're rotating device `onResume()` is called so you can write code in that also.. — Juned, Jun 24 '13 at 08:45
@juned so I need to check all states in some array, and set them back after each rotation? Is there any another solution? — Laser, Jun 24 '13 at 08:49
while blganes101's answer will do the trick in 80%, sometimes things will go terribly wrong, for reason google states that it should be used as last option possible and to prefer savedInstanceState and restoreInstanceState.. check answers here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7818717/why-not-use-always-androidconfigchanges-keyboardhiddenorientation — Marko Niciforovic, Jun 24 '13 at 09:18

Do not use configChanges for this. Having an understanding of why it happens and how to save state is very important. Please read the documentation on this topic.

Add this to your AndroidManifest.xml file

android:configChanges="orientation"

[Documentation states](http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element.html): Note: Using this attribute should be avoided and used only as a last resort. Please read [Handling Runtime Changes](http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/runtime-changes.html) for more information about how to properly handle a restart due to a configuration change. – Jacob Tabak Dec 27 '13 at 16:56
