Android - Preventing Webview Reload on Rotate

Android - Preventing WebView reload on Rotate

I think the main problem is that you call web.loadUrl(webURL); also when savedInstanceState != null

EDIT

Try:

if (savedInstanceState == null)
{
  web.loadUrl(webURL);
}

EDIT2: You also need the onSaveInstanceState and onRestoreInstanceState override.

@Override
protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState )
{
super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
web.saveState(outState);
}

@Override
protected void onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onRestoreInstanceState(savedInstanceState);
web.restoreState(savedInstanceState);
}

Note: Please also add in your AndroidManifest.xml in your Activity
android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize"
Thanks

            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    </application>

    </manifest>

How to prevent WebView auto refresh when screen rotation

Highlighting @kirgy comment, You have to add orientation|screenSize to your manifest if your API > 3.2 , It wont work without it in some cases.
