How To Stop An Activity From Reloading On Orientation Changes

I have an activity as a child within a navigation drawer parent activity, any time the orientation of the pages changes the page has to be reloaded again. public class Applications

Solution 1:

You need to declare android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize" in activity tag not in application tag

<activity
        android:name=".ApplicationsClass"
        android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
