I was wondering why not use android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation"
in every (almost every ;)) activity?
Goods:
- no need to worry about your activity been rotated
- it’s faster
Not so nice:
- need to change your layouts if they are depending on screen size (e.g. layouts with two columns or so)
Bad:
- no flexible way to have different layouts on different orientation
- not so good when using fragments
But if we don’t use different layouts, why not?
