Thanks very much. This solved a part of the problem but it's still pretty bad.
Sub is actually a dialog. So when Sub is opened the windowmanager or whoever tries to flip Main which is visible behind Sub. However Main is not suitable for landscape and the paint thread of Main is already sleeping at this point. What i want is that Main is left alone and the windowmanager should only flip the dialog. Main is configured as android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden| orientation" so i read Context.getResources().getConfiguration().orientation at onConfigurationChanged which says "user" inside Main which is absolutely wrong since i want Main to be locked in portrait. Another problem is that it takes about 10 times longer to open Sub in landscape compared to portrait accompanied with the following line in logcat. WARN/SurfaceFlinger(12402): timeout expired mFreezeDisplay=0, mFreezeCount=1 Any ideas?
