what should i do…??? So that i can get the text related to that slideshow item as well which was opened before the orientation was changed.

Answer 1

freeze the UI on orientation change.

Add the following to the activity declaration in the manifest:

android:configChanges="orientation"

so it looks like

<activity android:label="@string/app_name" 
        android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden" 
        android:name=".your.package">
