This is considered a runtime change of configuration (screen orientation). Read this article to learn how to handle this - http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/runtime-changes.html

To add on to what Matty mentioned.... I had gone through lot of sleepless nights due to this screen change behavior and trying to arrive at a good solution for the same. Fortunately, somebody pointed me to the below blog. That was it.... a very good explanation and possible solutions to this problem.
