Phonegap app crashes when switched orientation even with AndroidManifest changes

Question

Here\'s my Manifest:

Answer 1

Here's my solution Add "screenSize" to the android:configChanges in each Activity tag (within the AnroidManifest.xml).

Like this:

android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize|keyboardHidden"

It solved my problem.

Answer 2

In your case the attribute android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize|keyboardHidden" should go to the first <activity> tag and not the <application> tag.

For the other people having similar issues simply add screenSize to android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden" or change the android:minSdkVersion attribute to 12 or lower.
