For the first time im trying to set a landscape orientation on my app. Im having so much problems cause it uses actionbar.tab's and service and i dont know very well yet how all of this will happens on each fragment specifically. The first problem i faced was the asynchrony between activity lifecycle and service, cause the service was unbind when the activity was already recreated. Then i tried to set android:configChanges="orientation" on my manifest to manually handle the events, but the activity stills recreating itself.
I dont know how i will handle so many details on orientation changes, the most of data and information i have to retrieve is on service, it guards my app state, but im not getting do it.
Please help me before i give up implementing this funcion on my app.
I will post some code.
This is the manifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.irclient2"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >

android:targetSdkVersion="19" />
<application

<activity
android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.AdActivity"

</application>
</manifest>
This is my activity:
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity implements
ServiceConnection {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
MyService.log("Activity onCreate()");
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_layout);
actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);
actionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
drawerlayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
drawerlayout.setDrawerShadow(R.drawable.drawer_shadow, Gravity.LEFT);
registerReceivers();
cancelaNotificacao(R.drawable.ic_launcher);
Intent it = new Intent(this, MyService.class);
if (!MyService.RUNNING) {
startService(it);
}
if (!bindService(it, this, 0)) {
mensagemErro("Erro!",
"Não foi possível conectar ao service. Fechando app.");
finish();
}
}
@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
MyService.log("Activity onDestroy()");
unregisterReceivers();
unbindService(this);
super.onDestroy();
}
@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
// /////////////////////// CASO PORTRAIT ///////////////////////////
if (newConfig.orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) {
}
// /////////////////////// CASO LANDSCAPE ///////////////////////////
if (newConfig.orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) {
}
}
@Override
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName name, IBinder binderservice) {
MyService.log("Activity onServiceConnected");
LocalBinder binder = (LocalBinder) binderservice;
this.service = binder.getService();
carregaRadio();
if (MyService.bot != null && MyService.bot.isConnected()) {
carregaChatdoService();
selectTab(TITLE_TAB_CHAT);
} else {
carregaLogin();
selectTab(TITLE_TAB_RADIO);
}
}
@Override
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName name) {
service = null;
}
//////////// THERE ARE MORE THINGS //////////
My RelativeLayout that is the custom view for the actionbar.tabs:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_height="64dip"
android:layout_marginLeft="-3dip"
android:layout_marginRight="-3dip"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="@+id/tabtitle"
style="?android:attr/tabWidgetStyle"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:text="Tab Title" />
</RelativeLayout>
Due to my activity always get the data from service, i though it would be easilly with activity being recreated, but i had problems with service connection during the process because service bind and unbind are called and assynchronous.
As i already said, is my first time doing it, please tell me what is best thing to do.
Thanks in advance.
