Activity not recreated on rotation

Question

Activity 1 created and shown (portrait mode)
Activity 2 created and shown (portrait mode)
Rotation (to landscape mode). Activity 2 is recreated as expected
Press Back
Activity 1 is shown in portrait mode (landscape mode is expected with Activity 1 recreation)

Why activity is not recreated?

PS. No orientation set or onConfigurationChanged() overriden for Activity 1 in AndroidManifest.xml

add this line to manifest android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize" — Anjali Tripathi, Jan 11 '16 at 13:11

@AnjaliTripathi first tell to him/her to post `AndroidManifest.xml` — Pratik Butani, Jan 11 '16 at 13:18
gets the `onConfigurationChanged(Configuration)` callback triggered in `Activity` 1 when the device is rotated while displaying `Activity` 2? — Droidman, Jan 11 '16 at 13:18
`onConfigurationChanged ` is not overriden neither in Activity nor super activities — 4ntoine, Jan 11 '16 at 13:21

If you are having this code in manifest for activity1

add this code:android:screenOrientation="fullSensor"

if you have handled it in config changes:android:configChanges="orientation" then either remove it or you have it handle in onConfigurationChanged () callback in your activity

no special settings in AndroidManifest for the activity:` ` – 4ntoine Jan 11 '16 at 13:20
setting `android:screenOrientation="fullSensor"` for the activity in manifest did not help – 4ntoine Jan 11 '16 at 13:55
add android:configChanges="orientation" in your manifest and override onConfigurationChanged() to change the view. – peeyush pathak Jan 14 '16 at 09:48

For some reason my colleague added activity.setRequestedOrientation(..) long time ago and it prevented activity from changing orientation.
