Question

I have a application which use two layouts in portrait ans landscape. To load content form web at the initial load I use a AsyncTask and a progress bar.

I checked this. Since I have two layouts this is not the solution.

The exception is given below.

Is there a method to lock the rotation change till the application loads it self?

Or and other idea?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I called the progressDialog.dismiss() in the onDestroy() method.

During a orientation change, the activity restarts. So before restart we have to destroy the current progressDialog. This does the trick. 😀
