onSaveInstanceState doesn't handle the state I'm trying to get my edittext1.text while clicking on the getName button after screen flipped but it doesn't work. How it should work adding some text to the et1 click setName then tv1 appears (tv1.text = et1.text, var "name" = tv1.text) flip the screen click getName (at the et1 have to be value "name" that we put to the SaveInstanceState before) I'm a noobie, hope You can help me! Thanks in advance.
