The EditText, like many built-in controls, saves and restores it's state as
part of the configuration change. The same thing would happen with a
checkbox.
While you changed the text in onCreate, an Activity calls onRestoreInstance
state *after* onCreate, at which point the EditText's previously saved
value is restored. This is a good thing as it prevents you from having to
write save / restore code for everything in your UI.
Read the documentation on the activity life cycle for more details.
