Please check out this issue: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=20791

The project (https://github.com/kaciula/BugRetain) uses a CursorLoader to take 2 values from a database through a content provider and shows them on screen. The scenario is this: From activity A, go to activity B, switch once the orientation and go back to activity A. The values from db are no longer showing.

Can anyone provide a workaround for this issue? The problem doesn’t appear with only CursorLoader but with any loader. As a consequence of this bug, I can’t write an app with fragments that use setRetainInstance and is available in both orientations. I really need a workaround until the Android guys fix the issue. Any ideas?

    Do not set your fragments as retainable if you use Loaders. If you need to store some data between configuration changes, create another retainable fragment and pass this data to him.

    A similar example can be found here: FragmentRetainInstanceSupport. But this example uses extra fragment for threading purposes. In your case this extra fragment will be used as data container.
