Android Question Bluetooth keyboard causes Activity Destroy and Recreate

[ToolboxZX]

Hello,
Can someone tell me the proper syntax to apply this code the to manifest editor:
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|navigation"

The scenero is I have a blue tooth keyboard and when I turn it off (or get out of range) the activity is destroyed then recreated.

I found the above configuration allows the activity to handle it.

Related source links where I obtained this information:

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element.html#config

Thank you.

Figured it out For others trying to achieve this:
SetActivityAttribute(activityname, android:configChanges,"orientation|screenSize|keyboard|keyboardHidden|navigation")

where "activityname" is your main activity, (for example: Main)

It is better to use:

SetActivityAttribute(activityname, android:configChanges,"keyboard|keyboardHidden|navigation")

Thank you Erel!

When applying this method of keyboard change handling, do we have a way to monitor the Activity onConfigurationChanged method with B4A?

The android developer documentation also says:

"....declaring a configuration with this attribute will prevent the activity from being restarted. Instead, the activity remains running and its onConfigurationChanged()method is called."

Currently no.
