It is critical and tedious and error-prone to save/restore state in Android, given that the configuration change can happen very often, therefore it requires developers to have good discipline and great efforts to make it right. It is already hard to do it in Android, it is even harder to do it in React Native, IMO, because it is common (maybe recommended?) to have one activity in React Native Android app and the root view contains the whole app. What are developers now supposed to do hook onto the activity life cycle to save/restore state without errors? I check out FB's ad manager from google play store. The app itself disables the orientation change. Maybe it just so happens to work out for the ad manager, in terms of UX. but it is far from being enough for the community. The other app from third part in the play store does not disable orientation change and the app's state just gets lost whenever orientation changes. Any serious app cannot allow that.

Please come up with and recommend a good solution to us. I think it is a must to make React Native successful on Android, and to be a much better programming model than the one of Android.
