Mobile app crashes on orientation change

I have been working on a mobile application for Android. I used the android template provided by profound ui and everything was working well on android 3.0.
I recently updated to android 4.0.3. Now when I launch the app, it runs, but as soon as I rotate the device it crashes.

After much searching, I found a solution to this problem.
I needed to add "screenSize" to android:configChanges in each Activity tag within the AnroidManifest.xml. So it would be like this: android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize|keyboardHidden"
The reason behind this is explained in this post:

Thanks Paul!
I added this change to the Android Manifest file included in the template project, to prevent future users from experiencing this problem.
