I have a WebView in my Activity which I want to reuse across config changes so that the webpage does not get reloaded after every orientation change. I can use Activity#onRetainNonConfigurationInstance/getLastConfigurationInstance for this. However, I have heard that Fragment#setRetainInstance is better for this purpose. This does not seem correct if there are other Views involved which should be recreated after a config change (eg. TextView which should be recreated after a locale change so that new string resources can be picked up). I could keep only the WebView in a Fragment, and all other Views in the Activity, but then either approach seems good enough.
Just checking that Activity#onRetainNonConfigurationInstance/ getLastConfigurationInstance are not considered to be bad practice going forward. http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/runtime-changes.html only mentions these apis anyway, not Fragment#setRetainInstance.
