Answer 1

Try adding this:

android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize|keyboardHidden" 

as your config change parameter to see if it fixes your issue.

Answer 2

I had the same rotation problem and took the app to the latest version of the sdk 4.03, and the above mentioned configuration changes. My manifest looks like the following:

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="8"
    android:targetSdkVersion="13" />

<application
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name" >
    <activity
        android:name=".Ordering"
        android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize|keyboardHidden"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    <!-- ZXing activities -->
    <activity
        android:name="com.google.zxing.client.android.CaptureActivity"
        android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize|keyboardHidden"
        android:screenOrientation="landscape"
        android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"
        android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="com.phonegap.plugins.barcodescanner.SCAN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    <activity
        android:name="com.google.zxing.client.android.encode.EncodeActivity"
        android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|screenSize"
        android:label="@string/share_name" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="com.phonegap.plugins.barcodescanner.ENCODE" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
</application>
