Question

I am trying to stop my app from resetting whenever the user flips the screen. I don’t really want to set it to portrait permanently.

My problem is I have settings which erase and a service which stops each time the screen flips. I would like to keep things as they are regardless of the screen orientation.

On your Activity in your AndroidManifest, set the following:

<activity android:name="YourActivity" android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"></activity>

This tells your Activity to not “re-create” itself on screen orientation changes or keyboard change state
