  1. POFully retain WebView in fragment after rotation
    text
    copied!<p>I'm currently having a WebView placed in a fragment like this:</p> <pre><code>@Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setRetainInstance(true); } @Override public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) { mContext = container.getContext(); LayoutInflater mInflater = (LayoutInflater)mContext.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE); LinearLayout view = (LinearLayout) mInflater.inflate(R.layout.post_view_layout, container,false); view.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE); _viewCache = view; _post_WebView = (WebView) view.findViewById(R.id.post_webview); setupWebView(_post_WebView); //This method sets up the webview (javascript mode etc.) and set the url to load return view; } </code></pre> <p>Now whenever I rotate, the activity that contains this fragment gets recreated (I can't use the <code>configChanges="orientation"</code> attribute for the manifest because I'm using ABS) Because of <code>setRetainInstance(true)</code> the fragment, it's layout and all variables get retained fine and all, but whenever I try to scroll or click in the retained WebView I get a <code>BadTokenException</code> (probably because the original activity used for it's context is destroyed during rotation).</p> <p>I could solve this by just recreating the WebView with the new activity context after rotation, but since the webview shows a input form, recreating it after rotation might prove tedious to users. (I already tried saving the state using the <code>saveState</code> and <code>restoreState</code> methods of the WebView, but to no avail)</p> <p>Is there any way to restore or retain the WebView in it's complete pre-rotation state without generating a <code>BadTokenException</code>, just like it would when the <code>configChanges="orientation"</code> attribute has been added?</p>
