Hi Mark, I am using setRetainInstance(true) with all of the Fragments. I am actually new'ing up the detail fragment on the invocation of the onContextItemSelected() so there is no old reference hanging around. After looking a bit further, I am starting to wonder if it has something to do with the context menu. I am able to perform a separate Fragment Transaction replace operation during screen rotations triggered from the onListItemClick without issue. Following screen rotation, I logged the getActivity() call in onCreateContextMenu which is still valid, but the onContextItemSelected shows getActivity() returning null. Any thoughts as to why that might be? Thanks.
