Thanks for the reply. Actually Iam using fragment now for webview like you said. But I call the Fragment/webview class from Oncreate() in an Activity which extends FragmentActivity, which basically makes the purpose of me using fragment useless as when orientation changes the the Oncreate() restarts again creating new instance of Fragment/webview .
Iam using setRetainInstance(true) in the Fragment/Webview . How can I make sure that, the webiview/Fragment does not get recreated even when it's call from Oncreate() in the Activity is recreated everytime when Orientation changes ? Should I be using a onSaveInstanceState() and restorestate() in the Fragment/webview class ?
