PhoneGap Android orientation.

My PhoneGap application exited when device orientation changed.

These code will solve the problem. Update AndroidManifest with the code as highlighted in the example. 

    <application

        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"

        android:label="@string/app_name" >

        <activity

            android:name=".EStoryBooksActivity"

            android:label="@string/app_name"

            android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden" >

            <intent-filter>

                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />

            </intent-filter>

        </activity>

        <activity 

            android:name="org.apache.cordova.DroidGap" 

            android:label="@string/app_name"

            android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"> 

            

            <intent-filter> 

            </intent-filter> 

        </activity>

    </application>

For Android SDK 3.1 need to add screen size to the config.

android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize|keyboardHidden
