I am facing a small problem.In my application i am trying to have portrait and landscape view for audio streaming app in which i am using custom view to show visualizer on layout.
I have created two folder one is layout and another is layout-land and i put xml into that with same name but change in code for size,width.
Also i have added `android:configChanges=”orientation|keyboardHidden”
But when i rotate my handset , orientation change take place to landscape but xml is displayed from default layout only.. it doesn’t take layout-land xml to show landscape mode.
as i am using custom view to display visualizer on my both land and port xml so my mediaplayer object is connected to XML and when i change orientation than media player object get recreated and start playing music
Please refer developer.android.com
It specifies:
android:configChanges
Lists configuration changes that the activity will handle itself. When a configuration change occurs at runtime, the activity is shut down and restarted by default, but declaring a configuration with this attribute will prevent the activity from being restarted. Instead, the activity remains running and its onConfigurationChanged() method is called.
Since you have specified android:configChanges=”orientation”, it means that your activity itself will handle orientation changes from onConfigurationChanged().
Remove android:configChanges from manifest. Your problem will be solved.
