I've a web app with phonegap 1.3 and jquerymobile 1.0 that works well on all android version but 4.0 In fact if I change the orientation the app force close with no errors and no (as I can understand) logcat errors. If I open my app in portrait works, If I open in landscape works but if I try to switch closes

Here's my code:

import android.os.Bundle;
import com.phonegap.DroidGap;
public class MYActivity extends DroidGap {
         @Override 
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html");
    }   
}

of course I've 

        android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation" 
        android:screenOrientation="sensor"

in manifest !

thanks for help

Try adding this:

android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize|keyboardHidden"

as your config change parameter to see if it fixes your issue.

    Oh, you should always build your application with the latest SDK and let Android handle the backwards compatibility. You can specify a min sdk version that your app can run on in the manifest file. I would not go lower than 7 (Android 2.1) for this value. – Simon MacDonald Jan 11 '12 at 15:27

I had the same rotation problem and took the app to the latest version of the sdk 4.03, and the above mentioned configuration changes. My manifest looks like the following:

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="8"
    android:targetSdkVersion="13" />

<application
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name" >
    <activity
        android:name=".Ordering"
        android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize|keyboardHidden"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    <!-- ZXing activities -->
    <activity
        android:name="com.google.zxing.client.android.CaptureActivity"
        android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize|keyboardHidden"
        android:screenOrientation="landscape"
        android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"
        android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="com.phonegap.plugins.barcodescanner.SCAN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    <activity
        android:name="com.google.zxing.client.android.encode.EncodeActivity"
        android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|screenSize"
        android:label="@string/share_name" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="com.phonegap.plugins.barcodescanner.ENCODE" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
</application>
