How can I stop my Android webview app from refreshing when I rotate my phone?

I am trying to complete my org's first app (we lost our dev due to health issues) and it seems to be working except that when the phone is rotated it refreshes back to the login screen. I realize that this question was answered previously here but this information is 4 years old and I get some compiling errors.
Here is our code - I really hope that someone can help as I am completely new to this and not really a dev myself, but I feel like what we have is close to a solution.
Manifest.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="ca.ruffarc.flytest">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
Main Activity:
package ca.ruffarc.flytest;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.KeyEvent;
import android.view.View;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private WebView webView;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
webView.setWebViewClient(new MyBrowser());
webView.getSettings().setLoadsImagesAutomatically(true);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.setScrollBarStyle(View.SCROLLBARS_INSIDE_OVERLAY);
webView.loadUrl("https://flyapp.ca/en/authentication");
}
private class MyBrowser extends WebViewClient {
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
}
#Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) && webView.canGoBack()) {
webView.goBack();
return true;
}
else
{
finish();
}
return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}
}

If you look at the AndroidManifest.xml from the link you gave you will see that <activity> has property android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden".
So you need to do the same for your activity in the manifest with small difference:
android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize|keyboardHidden".
Here's a full example of Manifest.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="ca.ruffarc.flytest">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
<activity android:name=".MainActivity"
android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize|keyboardHidden">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>

Did you declare your activity in the manifest?
If you did, this question was asked before, try the following:

You can try this
MediaPlayer player = new MediaPlayer();
player.setDataSource("/sdcard/audiotrack.mp3");
player.prepare();
player.start();

How to start an IntentService from a WakefulBroadcastReceiver

I have an application, which you should be able to recreate entirely and very easily with the code I'll post in this question. Here's the Manifest file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.broadcasttest"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="19"
android:targetSdkVersion="21" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK"/>
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name="com.example.broadcasttest.MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<receiver
android:name="com.example.broadcasttest.TestReceiver"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:enabled="true" >
</receiver>
<intentservice
android:name="com.example.broadcasttest.MonitorService"
android:enabled="true" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.example.broadcasttest.MonitorService" />
</intent-filter>
</intentservice>
</application>
</manifest>
As you can see, the contains an activity, a (wakeful) broadcast receiver and an intentservice, all in the same package. The activity gets started at launch, here's the code:
package com.example.broadcasttest;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
sendBroadcast(new Intent(this, TestReceiver.class));
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
This succesfully triggers the onReceive function of TestReceiver.
package com.example.broadcasttest;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.support.v4.content.WakefulBroadcastReceiver;
public class TestReceiver extends WakefulBroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
//Intent service = new Intent("com.example.broadcasttest.MonitorService");
Intent service = new Intent(context, MonitorService.class);
startWakefulService(context, service);
}
}
This is where things go wrong though, I placed a breakpoint in the onReceive function and it definitely gets called. However, the MonitorService class never gets reached. I placed a breakpoint in the onHandleEvent function, but it seems like it never gets that far. Here's the code for this class:
package com.example.broadcasttest;
import android.app.IntentService;
import android.content.Intent;
public class MonitorService extends IntentService {
public MonitorService(String name) {
super(name);
}
public MonitorService()
{
super("MonitorService");
}
#Override
protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
TestReceiver.completeWakefulIntent(intent);
}
}
}
As you can tell from the commented line in the TestReceiver class, I've tried using an implicit intent instead of an explicit one. I've also read this question and tried everything mentioned there. Am I missing something here? I'm running this on an emulator (Nexus7 API L).
Is there anything I'm missing here?

There is no tag as <intentservice> in Application Manifest. IntentService is a subclass of Service, so you need to declare it as service in manifest.
Change
<intentservice
android:name="com.example.broadcasttest.MonitorService"
android:enabled="true" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.example.broadcasttest.MonitorService" />
</intent-filter>
</intentservice>
to
<service
android:name="com.example.broadcasttest.MonitorService"
android:enabled="true" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.example.broadcasttest.MonitorService" />
</intent-filter>
</service>

How can remove the titlebar and remain the browser in fullscreen

I'm trying to create my first app, the browser for android with this code already done, but needed to adapt to my necessity. I still do not know java, and the examples I find I can not make it work.
I need help and reading.
How can remove the titlebar and remain the browser in fullscreen?
for later viewing and interacting with my application in jquery mobile
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.webkit.WebSettings;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;
public class AndroidMobileAppSampleActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
WebView mainWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.mainWebView);
WebSettings webSettings = mainWebView.getSettings();
webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
mainWebView.setWebViewClient(new MyCustomWebViewClient());
mainWebView.setScrollBarStyle(View.SCROLLBARS_INSIDE_OVERLAY);
mainWebView.loadUrl("http://www.");
}
private class MyCustomWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
}
}
//AndroidManifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="tscolari.mobile_sample"

<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>

1 - in your layout, set the WebView to match_parent in both layout_width and layout_height
2 - in your code, add these lines:
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Hiding Title bar of this activity screen
getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
// Making this activity full screen
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
in place of the existing
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
If your IDE is NOT SET to add the missing imports, just add the following line to your imports:
import android.view.Window;
import android.view.WindowManager;

update your manifeist like this :
only mentioning one thing:
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="tscolari.mobile_sample"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="10" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<application android:icon="#drawable/icon" android:label="#string/app_name">
<activity android:name=".AndroidMobileAppSampleActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>

NoClassDefFoundError (unknown source) when starting new Activity

I'm trying to start an activity
`package com.kapzlock.mytestproject;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
public class Splash extends Activity{
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle SomeVar) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(SomeVar);
setContentView(R.layout.splash);
Thread timer = new Thread(){
public void run(){
try{
sleep(5000);
}
catch(InterruptedException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally{
Intent openStartingPoint = new Intent("com.kapzlock.mytestproject.MAINACTIVITY");
startActivity(openStartingPoint);
}
}
};
timer.start();
}
/**
* #param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
}
`
The Manifest xml file looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.kapzlock.mytestproject"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="17" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name=".Splash"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.kapzlock.mytestproject.MAINACTIVITY" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
It compiles without problems, but when I run the Splash.class, I'm getting an Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: android/app/Activity Error. The package name is com.kapzlock.mytestproject and the class that I'm referencing to is MainActivity.class. Has anybody an idea where the mistake could be in?

Try this:
Go to Project/Properties/Java Build Path/Order and Export -- Make sure there's a check in front of Android Dependencies and the support library, if you use it.Mark all checkboxes.Click on Apply and clean the project.
This worked for me.Hope this helps.

Replace your code with following
finally
{
Intent openStartingPoint = new Intent(this,MAINACTIVITY.class);
startActivity(openStartingPoint);
}
Remove following from your manifest.xml in mainActivity tag
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.kapzlock.mytestproject.MAINACTIVITY" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
