  • 0

I’ve got a really odd problem which comes out when testing my app on the Honeycomb emulator. When the “tablet” is rotated to portrait, my main Activity seems to just get stuck, and restarts itself over and over again. The stack trace below seems to give no indication of what is going on, and I haven’t been able to pinpoint the restart when debugging either. The same thing doesn’t occur on a Gingerbread phone, which uses the same portrait layout.

I do not own a Honeycomb device (yet) so I cannot see whether this is a quirk of the emulator or not.

Thanks in advance for your help

    I have found the problem finally! I have a spinner in the ActionBar, and didn’t realise the listener was activated when the activity is first created. In landscape this just added another menu to the multiview pane (which I have recently noticed was another bug), but in portrait fires a new activity every time the last one is created.
