Normal case when you change you orientation the activity will recreate(call onCreate()).
If you have only one xml for both orientation, you can block this by
1. Set the activity as android:configChanges="orientation" in manifest file

<activity android:name=".Youractivityname" 
      android:configChanges="orientation"/>

2. Then override this in our activity class

public class Youractivityname extends Activity {

     public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            // all your codes 
      }

    @Override
        public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
          super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);

        }
}

Hope now it is clear for you

By default on orientation change the activity is destroyed and recreated, so if you set the first bitmap on create, and then change to the second bitmap elsewhere, when the orientation changes the first image is set in the onCreate but if the code that changes image isn't called again then the image doesn't change.

Using android:configChanges="orientation" in the manifest is a bad practice. This is the recommended way to handle the orientation change.
