Android横竖屏切换相关
如何让Android横竖屏切换时不销毁当前activity
背景介绍：
在编写android小应用的时候，碰到了这样的一个问题：当推开手机的实体键盘时，屏幕由竖屏转换为横屏，此时应用程序的显示界面(Activity)就会被销毁了，这个让人比较郁闷。
如何才能让这个activity不被销毁呢？

在android开发网上有这么几段话：
If the configuration of the device (as defined by the Resources.Configuration class) changes, then anything displaying a user interface will need to update to match that configuration. Because Activity is the primary mechanism for interacting with the user, it includes special support for handling configuration changes.
Unless you specify otherwise, a configuration change (such as a change in screen orientation, language, input devices, etc) will cause your current activity to be destroyed, going through the normal activity lifecycle process of onPause(), onStop(), and onDestroy() as appropriate. If the activity had been in the foreground or visible to the user, once onDestroy() is called in that instance then a new instance of the activity will be created, with whatever savedInstanceState the previous instance had generated from onSaveInstanceState(Bundle).
In some special cases, you may want to bypass restarting of your activity based on one or more types of configuration changes. This is done with the android:configChanges attribute in its manifest. For any types of configuration changes you say that you handle there, you will receive a call to your current activity's onConfigurationChanged(Configuration) method instead of being restarted. If a configuration change involves any that you do not handle, however, the activity will still be restarted and onConfigurationChanged(Configuration) will not be called.
To declare that your Activity handles a configuration change, edit the appropriate <activity> element in your manifest file to include the android:configChanges attribute with a string value that represents the configuration that you want to handle. Possible values are listed in the documentation for the android:configChanges attribute (the most commonly used values are orientation to handle when the screen orientation changes and keyboardHidden to handle when the keyboard availability changes). You can declare multiple configuration values in the attribute by separating them with a pipe character ("|").
For example, the following manifest snippet declares an Activity that handles both the screen orientation change and keyboard availability change:
<activity android:name=".MyActivity"
android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"
android:label="@string/app_name">
Now when one of these configurations change, MyActivity is not restarted. Instead, the Activity receives a call to onConfigurationChanged(). This method is passed a Configuration object that specifies the new device configuration. By reading fields in the Configuration, you can determine the new configuration and make appropriate changes by updating the resources used in your interface. At the time this method is called, your Activity's Resources object is updated to return resources based on the new configuration, so you can easily reset elements of your UI without the system restarting your Activity.

解决办法：
通过上面资料的阅读，解决办法就很简单了。
首先在Mainifest.xml的Activity元素中加入android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"属性
加入这条属性的含义是，应用程序将会处理屏幕方向和键盘状态(推出或合上）信息的改动。但对于其他的设备配置信息的改动则会由Android系统来处理（销毁当前Activity，然后重启一个新的Activity实例）。
那么，现在还需要在java代码的activity子类中加入配置信息改动的处理代码。这个也很简单
比如，在Mainifest.xml的Activity元素中增加这么一个属性：android:screenOrientation="portrait"
则无论手机如何变动，拥有这个属性的activity都将是竖屏显示。
android:screenOrientation="landscape“，为横屏显示。
这里提一个小知识，Anroid模拟器中，快捷键"ctrl+F11"可以实现转屏。
