For me I found out, that the android:configChanges-Entry must be the first in the list. I had it in the third after "name" and "label" and it didn't work.

I was having the same problem but Yaron Uliel's comment helped me out.

Just make sure that on yout "AndroidManifest.xml", the 'activity' node has the attribute: android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"

Like this:

<activity
    android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden" 
    android:name=".FirstAppActivity"
    android:label="@string/app_name" >

In my particlar case, I was missing "android:" part before "configChanges=" (it's an error on Adobe's tutorial I believe)

Hope it helps!
