Question

I have a layout that uses TextView and a custom control I created that combine a TextView and two buttons for an integer up/down control. The TextView retains its value when the device is rotated, I’m calling the save/restore instance state. I’m not capturing any values as the device retains the values. However, this is not the case for my custom component.

Is there something I need to implement in a custom control so when the device orientation changes it retains the values like the native controls do?

Thank you.

Throw android:configChanges="orientation" into your activity tags in your AndroidManifest.xml file.
