    <p>I'm creating an Android app with an activity comprised of a mixture of static views and dynamically created views. The activity contains UI elements held in an XML file and UI elements which are created dynamically based on the content of a model class. (as in, there is an array in my model class and an EditText will be created for every element in the array.. and a Spinner will be created containing every element in a different array)</p> <p>What's the usual method for saving and restoring the state of the application when dynamically created UI elements are involved? Because I won't always know which UI elements will exist at any one time! Currently, my binding code simply reloads the data from the database when the device orientation changes, losing any changes that the user made.</p> <p>I've had a good look around on Google/SO for this and I've not found anything related to this problem.</p> <p>Thanks all</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> For anyone that comes across this in the future, I did a slightly modified version of Yakiv's approach and wound up with this:</p> <pre><code>for (int i = 0; i &lt; views.size(); i++) { View currentView = views.get(i); if (currentView instanceof CheckBox) { outState.putBoolean("VIEW"+i, (((CheckBox) currentView).isChecked())); } else if (currentView instanceof EditText) { outState.putString("VIEW"+i, ((EditText) currentView).getText().toString()); } else if (currentView instanceof Spinner) { //.....etc. etc. } } </code></pre> <p>Thanks again Yakiv for the awesome idea.</p>

    2. COThank you for your link, but as I replied on Yakiv's comment, this is for the simplest case where you know which UI elements you have and can easily store them in the bundle. I won't know which UI elements I have as they are dynamically generated. The activity could have 5 edittexts or it could have 50, which makes it difficult to add these values to the bundle.

Guidance
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.
