        }

    return view;

Here is my FirstFragment Class

package com.example.bajraregistertesteclipse;

import android.app.Fragment;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.Toast;


public class FirstFragment extends Fragment {
LoginDataBaseAdapter loginDataBaseAdapter;
EditText loginTestUser,loginTestPassword;
String userName,password,confirmpassword;


@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
        Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

       View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.firstfragment, container, false);


      loginTestUser=(EditText)view.findViewById(R.id.editTextUserNameToLogin);
      loginTestPassword=    (EditText)view.findViewById(R.id.editTextPasswordToLogin);
       Button btnLogin = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.buttonSignIn); 

        btnLogin.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View arg0) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            //  Toast.makeText(getActivity(),"BttonLoginPressed",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

                // get The User name and Password
                 userName=loginTestUser.getText().toString();
                 password=loginTestPassword.getText().toString();

              // fetch the Password form database for respective user name
                    String storedPassword=loginDataBaseAdapter.getSinlgeEntry(userName);

                    // check if the Stored password matches with  Password entered by user
                    if(password.equals(storedPassword))
                    {
                        Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Congrats: Login Successfull", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

                        // Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity(), Admin_Page.class);
                       //     getActivity().startActivity(intent);

                        Intent open=new Intent("com.example.bajraregistertesteclipse.ADMIN_PAGE");

                        getActivity().startActivity(open);
                        // startActivity(open);

                    }
                    else
                    {
                        Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "User Name or Password does not match", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    }

            }

        });

   return view;
}


@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    loginDataBaseAdapter=new LoginDataBaseAdapter(getActivity());
     loginDataBaseAdapter=loginDataBaseAdapter.open();
}

}

My Mainfest.xml is :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 package="com.example.bajraregistertesteclipse"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="13"
    android:targetSdkVersion="16" />

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >

   <activity  
       android:name=".MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="com.example.bajraregistertesteclipse.MAINACTIVITY" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    <activity android:name=".SignUp"></activity>
     <activity android:name=".Admin_Page">

     </activity>

</application>

Now my problem is Application crash when orientation change and When click to the button new activity Admin_Page should be initiatied but application crash.

Thank YOu in Advance!!!

Answer 1

<activity android:name=".SignUp"
android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize">

Add this line to all your activities to avoid crash with orientation changes. This will avoid the activity being loaded again and again on orientation changes.

For a little more information what you actually do with configChanges here the link to the Android documentation.

Lists configuration changes that the activity will handle itself. When a configuration change occurs at runtime, the activity is shut down and restarted by default, but declaring a configuration with this attribute will prevent the activity from being restarted. Instead, the activity remains running and its onConfigurationChanged() method is called.

Note: Using this attribute should be avoided and used only as a last resort. Please read Handling Runtime Changes for more information about how to properly handle a restart due to a configuration change.

And how to handle configuration changes you can find here.
