android - Activity killed / onCreate called after taking picture via intent -

i trying take picture using intent. problem after taking picture activity, calls startactivityforresult, seems destroyed oncreate called again.

here code taking pictures after clicking imageview, image should replaced:

if (!getpackagemanager().hassystemfeature(                 packagemanager.feature_camera)) {             util.makelongtoast(r.string.lang_no_camera);         } else {             intent intent = new intent(mediastore.action_image_capture);             startactivityforresult(intent, take_item_photo);         } 

...

@override protected void onactivityresult(int requestcode, int resultcode, intent data) {     log.v(tag, "onactivityresult called");     if (requestcode == take_item_photo) {         if (data != null) {              imageuri = data.getdata();                   try {                     img_photo.setimagebitmap(media.getbitmap(                             getcontentresolver(), imageuri));             } catch (filenotfoundexception e) {                     // todo auto-generated catch block                     e.printstacktrace();                 } catch (ioexception e) {                     // todo auto-generated catch block                     e.printstacktrace();                 }          } else             log.w(tag, "data null");     } } 

so try take picture , replace image of imageview it. in cases oncreate called after onactivityresult called , new image lost.

help appreciated.

actually camera causes orientation change in activity why activity being destroyed , recreated.

add in manifest file prevent orientation change , activity not destroyed , recreated.

<activity     android:name=".youractivity"     android:configchanges="orientation|keyboardhidden|screensize"     android:screenorientation="portrait" > </activity>
