copied!<p>I just want to give the solution that I came up with that handles all cases presented in this post that I derived from Vasek and devconsole. This solution also handles the special case when the phone is rotated more than once while fragments aren't visible.</p> <p>Here is were I store the bundle for later use since onCreate and onSaveInstanceState are the only calls that are made when the fragment isn't visible</p> <pre><code>MyObject myObject; private Bundle savedState = null; private boolean createdStateInDestroyView; private static final String SAVED_BUNDLE_TAG = "saved_bundle"; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); if (savedInstanceState != null) { savedState = savedInstanceState.getBundle(SAVED_BUNDLE_TAG); } } </code></pre> <p>Since destroyView isn't called in the special rotation situation we can be certain that if it creates the state we should use it.</p> <pre><code>@Override public void onDestroyView() { super.onDestroyView(); savedState = saveState(); createdStateInDestroyView = true; myObject = null; } </code></pre> <p>This part would be the same.</p> <pre><code>private Bundle saveState() { Bundle state = new Bundle(); state.putSerializable(SAVED_BUNDLE_TAG, myObject); return state; } </code></pre> <p>Now <strong>here</strong> is the tricky part. In my onActivityCreated method I instantiate the "myObject" variable but the rotation happens onActivity and onCreateView don't get called. Therefor, myObject will be null in this situation when the orientation rotates more than once. I get around this by reusing the same bundle that was saved in onCreate as the out going bundle.</p> <pre><code> @Override public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) { if (myObject == null) { outState.putBundle(SAVED_BUNDLE_TAG, savedState); } else { outState.putBundle(SAVED_BUNDLE_TAG, createdStateInDestroyView ? savedState : saveState()); } createdStateInDestroyView = false; super.onSaveInstanceState(outState); } </code></pre> <p>Now wherever you want to restore the state just use the savedState bundle</p> <pre><code> @Override public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) { ... if(savedState != null) { myObject = (MyObject) savedState.getSerializable(SAVED_BUNDLE_TAG); } ... } </code></pre>
