    <p>I just noticed a weird issue I've been having in my app. When I'm running my app, if I minimize it, then go the settings and change the language, then resume my app(note: this is minimize/resume, not exit/start), it calls the Activity's <code>onCreate()</code> instead of calling <code>onResume()</code>.</p> <p>This is causing a lot of issues, especially in areas where I'm using fragments in the view. The fragments being displayed are the old fragments, but the activity reference they are holding is <code>null</code>. So <code>getActivity()</code> doesn't work immediately after resuming, causing <code>NullPointerException</code> in many places.</p> <p>My app is being built for Android 4.0.4 and above and I've noticed this issue on different devices and emulators, so it's not a platform issue.</p> <p>Ideally, I'd like to call <code>onResume()</code> as it's supposed to. If not, I'd prefer to have the application relaunch itself silently and land the user on the home screen instead of having to face an App crash.</p> <p>The app itself supports just one language: English(USA).</p> <p>Has anyone faced this issue before? If yes, could you manage to resolve it?</p> <p>EDIT: Based on Class Stacker's answer, It seems I need to handle the configuration change myself. Which should be fine, except that an exception is thrown in the <code>onCreate()</code> itself. I am calling <code>getWindow().setRequestFeature(Window.FEATURE_INDETERMINATE_PROGRESS)</code> in the <code>onCreate()</code>. When the locate changes, this line is throwing a <code>RuntimeException</code> saying that this must be called before <code>setContentView()</code>.</p> <p>Does this mean my Activity is not getting destroyed properly?</p>

    1. CORegarding your edit, to be sure: _Do_ you call `setRequestFeature()` before `setContentView()`?

    2. CODefinitely. All my Activities inherit from a BaseActivity. The setRequestFeature is being called in the onCreate() of the base activity which is called in the onCreate() of my individual activities. It is only after that I call setContentView() in my activity.

    3. COSince my app only supports one language, I can "fix" it by setting configChanges="locale" in my Manifest, but I'd like to leave that as an absolute last resort.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
