Answer 1

if you need apply setSaveEnabled for all hierarchy:

    public static void SaveEnableViewAndChildren(this View view, bool val)
    {
        if (view == null)
            return;
        view.SaveEnabled = val;

        var viewGroup = view as ViewGroup;
        if (viewGroup == null)
            return;
        for (int i = 0; i < viewGroup.ChildCount; i++)
            SaveEnableViewAndChildren(viewGroup.GetChildAt(i), val);
    }

Answer 2

You can use View.setSaveEnabled (boolean enabled) method.

It's also possible to disable automatic state saving via xml using saveEnabled attribute android:saveEnabled="false"
