Is it possible to test android:configChanges in the m5 emulator? I haven't been successful at this. I have android:configChanges="orientation" attribute specified for my activity and I have implemented onConfigurationChanged, but that method never gets called. I've been testing with numpad 7/9 which does change the orientation.
