I am not sure, if you just want to stop your app to change orientation on rotating. But if thats the case, along with the line you mentioned
android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden" which tells the system that app will be handling the orientation change, you need to add the following line to in manifest.xml android:screenOrientation="portrait" or landscape, depending upon your choice. Hope it helps !!
