My code works as expected on smaller and bigger devices (Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, Kyocera Digno), but for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0, after launching an `ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE` intent and taking a picture, when the app returns `onDestroy()` is called, followed by `onCreate()`, *then* `onActivityResult()` is called, and finally, `onDestroy()` and `onCreate()` are called again, which is of course undesireable - only `onActivityResult()` should be called.

Possibles clues:

* The Galaxy Tab 7.0 has a screen size that is explicity not supported in the manifest file (and this is the only device I have tested with an unsupported screen size), so the user may choose scretch-to-fit or zoom-to-fit. Both UIs have the same (bad) behavior.
* The camera activity seems to switch orientation when previewing a picture. My app only supports portrait mode (**edit:** on smaller screens - on non-xlarge screens, it supports orientation changes). Maybe the orientation change is destroying my activity, somehow.
* I have tried launching and returning from a different intent (email intent), and my app is not destroyed and re-created in that case.

Let me know if more information or a code sample is needed.

**Edit:** the issue has been narrowed down to the orientation change. As per Karthik's answer, setting `android:configChanges="orientation"` fixes the issue. The only problem is, my app supports orientation changes on xlarge screens. This setting breaks this functionality on those devices. I've tried using `android:configChanges="@string/config_changes"` and providing a different string depending on the screen size, but now I'm getting an "Installation error: INSTALL\_PARSE\_FAILED\_UNEXPECTED\_EXCEPTION". According to this, [Android Activity, how to override manifest's android:configChanges with Java code?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7245758/android-activity-how-to-override-manifests-androidconfigchanges-with-java-cod), there is no way to set it programmatically. Is my only option left to handle all orientation changes in my app manually?
