I have created a Popup window which contains month view to pick up date. When I changes orientation, due to Android loads an activity all over again my popup Window gets disappears. How can I make it opened even when orientation changes at runtime?

    include android:configChanges="orientation" in your AndroidManifest.xml to the activity displaying window. Doing this tells android that you are going to handle orientation change yourself and eventually it will not destroy your activity and keeping the window displayed.

    This technique is good if you dont have different layouts for portrait and landscape mode. However, if you do, you may still perform custom layout implementation by detecting the orientation mode as below:

    @Override
    public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
    super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);

    if(newConfig.orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE)
    Log.i("orientation", "Orientation changed to: Landscape");
    else
    Log.i("orientation", "Orientation changed to: Portrait");
    }


    for preview, download and install this sample app.

    Whenever there is an orientation change, Android destroys your activity ( calls onDestroy()) and then restarts it (calls onCreate()).
    As soon as your popup is up, set a flag popup_open=1. Your popup will naturally have a dismiss button. Set the flag=0 in the click handler of this button. You can then re-open the popup when the app restarts in the method onRestoreInstanceState() or in the onCreate(). Here you would make a check for the flag. If the flag is set to 1, bring up the popup. So even if the orientation changed while the popup was up, onRestoreInstanceState() will know what to do based onthe state of the flag.

    Add this property to your activity in manifest.xml

    android:configChanges="orientation|keyboard"


    and that should do it.

Slow Android emulator

By User
I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
