Question

I have a application that use TabGroupActivity, when I change the screen orientation they resume the first view I have loaded. Example: I’m on the view 3, I rotate the phone to landscape and the first view (the loading view of the tabGroup) was resumed.

How I can resolve this?

Thanks

You should save which tab you’re on in onSaveInstanceState():

public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle toSave) {
  super.onSaveInstanceState(toSave);
  toSave.putString("currentTab", tabs.getCurrentTabTag());
}

Then restore it in onCreate():

public void onCreate(Bundle savedState) {
  super.onCreate(savedState);
  String tabTag = null;
  if (savedState != null) {
    tabTag = savedState.getString("currentTab");
  }
  ... //tab initialization code

  tabs.setCurrentTabByTag(tabTag);

  ...
}
