EditText is losing users' input when rotating android phone

In my application I have for example one EditText. In portrait mode I type the letters and when I rotate my device in I am seeing empty Edittext. Is there any way to do this? Any help please?

Answer 1

Save your data in

public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    savedInstanceState.putString("MyText", edtMyText.getText().toString());
}

and restore your data if any in OnCreate

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.my_activity);

        if (savedInstanceState != null) {
            String myString = savedInstanceState.getString("MyText");
            edtMyText.setText(myString);
        }
    }

For clarity you may want to define

private static final String MYTEXT_SAVED_ITEM = "MyText";
