I did read your site posts before deciding how to saving data when rotating, but the problem is onRetain....() isn't called, for example, when you set the emulator to destroy activities immediately and then press 'Home'. OnSave....() on the other hand *is* called. Because of this, I've decided to save the text in onSave...() instead, but I can't preserve formatting.
