I am trying to make my app rotation friendly, but I am having some problems saving the cursor. The cursor holds about 13k+ rows of data displayed in a ListView , and thus would take quite a while if I would do a requery every time the configuration changes. In my onRetainNonConfigurationInstance() , I am returning my Cursor and then retrieving it through getLastNonConfigurationInstance() . However, my retrieved cursor seems to be closed already, and thus my adapter cannot render the list anymore.
