Layout changes after turning the emulator, but not the device

Question

I need to show 2 columns in RecyclerView when the orientation is portrait and 4 columns when orientation is land. It works correct on the emulator.

It's RecyclerView in portrait orientation.

Turning the emulator:

As you can see, there is refresh button. And after clicking on it we see 4 columns on screen:

But when I run the project on my mobile phone, there is no refresh button and I see 2 columns in land orientation.

Here's a part of my code:

@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig){
    super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
    if (newConfig.orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE){
        previewImages.setLayoutManager(new GridLayoutManager(this, 4));
    }
    else {
        previewImages.setLayoutManager(new GridLayoutManager(this, 2));
    }
}

And I added this line to manifest:

android:configChanges="orientation"

So, what's the problem and how can I solve it?

is `onConfigurationChanged` getting called when you rotate the device? check with debugging — V-rund Puro-hit, Feb 28 '19 at 09:29
try using `android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize"` instead ans also check if auto-rotation is on :D — V-rund Puro-hit, Feb 28 '19 at 09:36
also check [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5620033/onconfigurationchanged-not-getting-called) question out. — V-rund Puro-hit, Feb 28 '19 at 09:39
