Android, how to not destroy the activity when I rotate the device?

Add android:configChanges="orientation to your Activity in AndroidManifest.xml. This way your Activity won't be restarted automatically. See the documentation for more infos.

The activity is restarted again. I don't know what's the point of doing all the stuff that has to be done when the activity rotates, even if it is not rotating virtually. Is there a way to disable that messages that the sensor sends to the OS about the rotation, or something like that, to fix this problem from its root?

Look at this code in Floating Image. It has the most interesting way of handling screen rotation ever. code.google.com/p/floatingimage/source/b....

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
