onConfigurationChange() is not called

Question

I found that in my app , onConfigurationChange() is not call. In manifest I put :

android:configChanges="keyboardHidden"

I want that when the keyboard is hide, onConfigurationChange() to be called. Why it is not called?

The method is not called when I force keyboard to be hide?

Did you by mistake put `android:configChanges` in the application tag instead of the activity tag? — drewi, Sep 02 '11 at 09:08

Hey i had the same problem as you. I don't know if it will work but i think it's worth a try. I just put android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardhidden" in all my activities i had declared in my AndroidManifest.xml so i had something like this :

    <activity 
        android:name=".appActivity"
        android:configChanges="keyboard|orientation" />                     
    <activity android:name=".app1Activity"
        android:configChanges="keyboard|orientation" />
    <activity android:name=".app2Activity"
        android:configChanges="keyboard|orientation" />             
    <activity android:name=".app3Activity"
        android:configChanges="keyboard|orientation" />

I tried toggling a breakpoint inside the method and it worked so you might want to try that as well, you never know!

Sorry if this doesn't help!

This question has been asked many times, a common answer is:

android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden" rather than
android:configChanges="keyboardHidden"
