Android - Is the intent preserved during activity recreation?

Question

I am building an android application, and would like to ask if the intent that started an activity (which is reachable via the getIntent () method) is saved

Answer 1

Will I still be able to retrieve the extra string from intent, or even the intent itself if the activity is recreated due to device rotation

Yes. You will have the same Intent (or, at least, a copy of the Intent) after the configuration change as you had before the configuration change.
