I have an activity which, onclick of a widget, launches another with a WebView.

I have an activity which, onclick of a widget, launches another with a WebView. This WebView is rather slow-loading.

What I would like to do is pre-load the contents of the WebView, such that showing it is instantaneous.

I tried the solution suggested here, which would work.. but for the fact that the first screen is best viewed in Portrait, while the WebView is best viewed landscape. And as such, if the screen orientation changes (either by user action or setRequestedOrientation()), the Activity reloads and the first screen is displayed (not what I want at all).

Any ideas?

    And as such, if the screen orientation changes (either by user action or setRequestedOrientation()), the Activity reloads and the first screen is displayed (not what I want at all).

    Then change that behavior. A WebView is one reasonable excuse for using android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation" to manage the orientation configuration change. The downside is that you have to deal with all resource changes yourself. On the plus side, your pre-loaded WebView remains intact.
