How to prevent custom views from losing state across screen orientation changes

Question

I\'ve successfully implemented onRetainNonConfigurationInstance() for my main Activity to save and restore certain critical components across screen orientation

Answer 1

I had the problem that onRestoreInstanceState restored all my custom views with the state of the last view. I solved it by adding these two methods to my custom view:

@Override
protected void dispatchSaveInstanceState(SparseArray container) {
    dispatchFreezeSelfOnly(container);
}

@Override
protected void dispatchRestoreInstanceState(SparseArray container) {
    dispatchThawSelfOnly(container);
}
