Question

So EditTexts should save their Text when changing orientation.
In this particular Fragment, they dont. Why is that?

my Fragment:

 public class LoginFragment extends Fragment {

    /**
     * @param inflater
     * @param container
     * @param savedInstanceState
     * @return
     * @see android.support.v4.app.Fragment#onCreateView(android.view.LayoutInflater,
     *      android.view.ViewGroup, android.os.Bundle)
     */
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
        Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    return inflater.inflate(R.layout.login, container, false);

    }

    /**
     * 
     * @see android.support.v4.app.Fragment#onStart()
     */
    @Override
    public void onStart() {
    super.onStart();

    getView().findViewById(R.id.login_ok).setOnClickListener(
        new OnClickListener() {

            public void onClick(View v) {
            startActivity(new Intent(getActivity(),
                StartActivity.class));
            }
        });
    }
}

My edittexts in xml:

 <EditText
        android:id="@+id/login_user"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
        android:background="@drawable/roundedcorner"
        android:ems="10"

        android:hint="@string/email"
        android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
        android:padding="8dp" >

        <requestFocus />
    </EditText>





    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/login_pw"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
        android:background="@drawable/roundedcorner"
        android:ems="10"

        android:hint="@string/password"
        android:inputType="textPassword"
        android:padding="8dp" />

This is the onCreate Method of my Activity:

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    setContentView(R.layout.activity_login);
    FragmentManager fm = getSupportFragmentManager();
    FragmentTransaction ft = fm.beginTransaction();
    ft.add(R.id.login_frame, new LoginFragment());
ft.commit();`

Okay so I had this problem, because i added my Fragment with a FragmentTransaction into a FrameLayout(which had a unique ID).

Now I’ve declared my Fragment once again in the XML with a unique ID and it works.

I cant really explain why it wont work when adding it with a FragmentTransaction, if the container has an unique ID, but atleast it works now.
