Here’s one pretty simple way to get your custom view to restore its current state after an orientation change:
You can of course put any values in there, for example if you need to restore fields.
(quickly plotted code. Haven’t run it, but it should work)
@Override protected Parcelable onSaveInstanceState() { Bundle bundle = new Bundle(); bundle.putParcelable("instanceState", super.onSaveInstanceState()); bundle.putString("myString", myEditText.getText().toString()); return bundle; } @Override protected void onRestoreInstanceState(Parcelable state) { if (state instanceof Bundle) { Bundle bundle = (Bundle) state; myEditText.setText(bundle.getString("myString")); state = bundle.getParcelable("instanceState"); } super.onRestoreInstanceState(state); }
