Android Question homescreen widget => orientation removes last updates

Hi

I just implemented a homescreen widget, and it works when I actively update the remove view.
However, if I rotate the device, the images and labels default back to the initial settings of the view in the designer, i.e. the images are gone, and the labels only have template text

Is there any reason why this could happen, or to prevent this?
Could detect the orientation event maybe?

Thanks
Marco
