Solution 1:

I've got this problem just. So I moved addTextChangedListener to the post method of EditText in the onCreateView:

public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    ...

    EditText mSearchQuery = findViewById(R.id.search_query);
    mSearchQuery.post(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                mSearchQuery.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
                    @Override
                    public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {
                    }

                    @Override
                    public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
                        //Some stuff
                    }

                    @Override
                    public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
                    }
                });
            }
        });
}

Solution 2:

You need to override onConfigurationChanged method to get callback whenever orientation is getting changed.

@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
    super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);

    if (newConfig.orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) {
        // landscape
    } else if (newConfig.orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT) {
        // portrait
    }
}

Add below line in manifest

android:configChanges= "orientation"

Now based on the callback you can do whatever you wanted to do.
