Default AndroidManifest.xml from the server: is there a reason to not include "keyboard" in the android:configChanges attribute

[Colin Wirt]

I'm wondering if it's worth including keyboard and screenSize in the android:configChanges attribute like "keyboardHidden|keyboard|orientation|screenSize" 

I'd consider the activity being restarted when a bluetooth keyboard is attached/detached as a bug -- and having to edit the manifest is a bit extreme to address an issue like this.

Am I missing a technical issue?

Cheers,

Colin

Thanks!

However, the branch appears to have been deleted and the change wasn't merged? Am I looking in the right place in GitHub?

Thanks very much :)

This problem has bugged me for a few years, and I've only just taken the time to work out exactly what was happening, it's great to have the -- amazingly simple -- option put into place!

Cheers,

Colin
