title: When an activity is destroyed due to a configuration change, are its Loaders destroyed as well?
body: <p>From the <a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/components/loaders.html" rel="noreferrer">developer guide on Loaders</a>,</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>They automatically reconnect to the <strong>last loader's cursor</strong> when
    being recreated after a configuration change. Thus, they don't need to
    re-query their data.</p>

  <p>From this <a href="http://www.androiddesignpatterns.com/2012/07/understanding-loadermanager.html" rel="noreferrer">blog post on Loaders</a>,</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>when an Activity is destroyed, the Activity instructs its
    LoaderManager to destroy and close its Loaders (as well as any
    resources associated with them, such as a <strong>Cursor</strong>).</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>The question is that which one is correct? <strong>When an activity is destroyed because of a configuration change, what happens to (1) its Loaders (2) the resources associated with its Loaders, such as a <code>Cursor</code>.</strong></p>
