is there any way to prevent this?

Maybe lock orientation

'SupportedOrientations possible values: unspecified, landscape or portrait.

but i need both orientations

Because that is how Android works. It’s Android that is shutting down and then restarting your application.

Have some alternativa solution?

 

[OliverA]

That is an issue that even Almight cannot prevent (sorry for the corny joke)

Maybe this thread helps you to understand what is happening when you change orientation

Graphical Life Cycle of a B4A Activity

Hi all... I'm posting this in the hopes that it'll help anyone programming with B4A to understand the life cycle of an activity. I struggled with this a bit, and the graphical representation made it easier for me to understand. I hope it helps some of you. (Thanks to Erel for proofing it for...

but if i use this code >

Sub Orientation_OrientationChanged (Azimuth As Float, Pitch As Float, Roll As Float)
    'Log("Orientation > "&GetOrientation)
    
    If (GetOrientation = 0) Then

        If (orientation = 0) Then
            ' ignore
        Else if (orientation = 1) Then
            orientation = 0
            Log("Portrait")
            Activity.RemoveAllViews
            LogColor(SessionID.Get(Session),Colors.Blue)
            Activity.LoadLayout(SessionID.Get(Session))
        End If
    Else If (GetOrientation = 1) Then
        
        If (orientation = 0) Then
            orientation = 1
            Log("LandScape")
            Activity.RemoveAllViews
            LogColor(SessionID.Get(Session),Colors.Blue)
            Activity.LoadLayout(SessionID.Get(Session))
        Else if (orientation = 1) Then
            'ignore
        End If
    End If
    
End Sub

can I get the layout to update to landscape or portrait mode without the app restarting?

Without knowing your application completely, I wonder why you delete all views when the orientation changes. The normal behavior in Android is that the image is rebuilt with a rotation. Then why delete the views? Perhaps it is therefore useful when designing the screen to take into account both screen orientations without having to remove the views.
