ImageView disapears when changing to portrait/landscape

ImageView disapears when changing to portrait/landscape

Q  : I have an imageview with a bitmap picture on it. i set this picture in the onActivityResault. the problem is when i change to portrait/landscape the image disapears. protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode,int resultCode, Intent imageReturnedIntent) {     super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, imageReturnedIntent);     switch(requestCode) {     case 1:         if(resultCode == RESULT_OK){               Uri selectedImage = imageReturnedIntent.getData();             InputStream imageStream;             try {                 imageStream = getContentResolver().openInputStream(selectedImage);                 Bitmap yourSelectedImage = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(imageStream);                 image.setImageBitmap(yourSelectedImage);             } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {                 // TODO Auto-generated catch block                 e.printStackTrace();             }         }     } A :

When orientation changes activity is destroyed and created again. If you're creating your layout using xml all widgets having @id set, should be automatically recreated with it's content. Otherwise you have to do that manually - take a look at Activity's methods onRestoreInstanceState() onSaveInstanceState() just override them and write your own save/restore code. Some of untested code, hope, that it will give you an idea: @Override onSaveInstanceState(Bundle b){ b.putParcelable("image", image.getBitmap()); } @Override onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle b){ //you need to handle NullPionterException here. image.setBitmap((Bitmap)b.getParcelable("image")); } link|improve this answer edited Jul 16 '11 at 18:08 answered Jul 16 '11 at 9:44 piotrpo 8821211

Thanks, but can you explain this a bit more? I have a Bitmap object in my activity, how do i set the image view picture to that bitmap again on those methods? – Yuval Jul 16 '11 at 11:17 I've edited my answer. – piotrpo Jul 16 '11 at 18:09
