I snap a photo, and it gets placed onto an ImageView. When the user sees the page where the Image View is, and I turn the phone sideways where the orientation is horizontal, the app immediately returns to the app's main screen. Any ideas?

Rotating the phone recreates the activity. Implementing the onSaveInstanceState() and onCreate() methods to properly save and restore the state of the activity should fix the problem.

  • Pardon my ignorance on that - but do you mean for each class? I have super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); in the class that it is changing orientation in, and it still goes back to the app's home screen. – Sapp Nov 18 '10 at 00:40
  • What do you mean by homes screen? Does it switch to another activity? Does a popup disappear? Does the view get reset? – Alex Jasmin Nov 18 '10 at 00:58
  • it goes from one of my classes called by setContentView back to my app's main class – Sapp Nov 18 '10 at 01:16
  • Your activity is destroyed by default when you rotate the screen. If you always call `setContentView()` with the same view inside `onCreate()` it will always switch back to it. – Alex Jasmin Nov 18 '10 at 02:06
  • If you are completely replacing the view perhaps it would be simpler to switch to another activity instead. – Alex Jasmin Nov 18 '10 at 02:18
