Configuration changed not called on start

Question

I have an Activity A which is displayed in Portrait mode only, which will call an Activity B which can be displayed in Portrait or Landscape Mode.

If I open the activity B on Portrait Mode, and rotate the device, everything is displayed as expected. If I am on Activity A and rotate the device for Landscape Mode, the Activity A keeps its orientation (as expected), but the Activity B then is called and does not call onConfigurationChanged() (which i have my logic to display things in a different way).

In Manifest im already setting:

android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize"

How can I display everything in Landscape mode, if the app is already on Landscape Mode when calling onCreate()?

my logic onConfigurationChanged only has an IF statement to handle if Landscape or Portrait. Thats all :x — Bugdr0id, Sep 05 '17 at 16:38

Try this

 android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|screenSize"

answer link

also savedInstanceState is not null if there is change in configuration so for activity B you can use the logic in

if (savedInstanceState != null) 
    {
        Log.v("bundle", "Restored");
    }

Still, OnConfigurationChanged is not being called – Bugdr0id Sep 05 '17 at 16:46
it seems callback is already consumed in Activity A on config change. and there is no change since you are going from landscape to landscape in Activity B. – vikas kumar Sep 05 '17 at 16:54
