public static void changeactionbarfont(activity activity) {         typeface slab = typeface.createfromasset(activity.getassets(),                 "robotoslab.ttf");         int actionbartitle = resources.getsystem().getidentifier(                 "action_bar_title", "id", "android");         int actionbarsubtitle = resources.getsystem().getidentifier(                 "action_bar_subtitle", "id", "android");         if (0 == actionbartitle & 0 == actionbarsubtitle) {             actionbartitle = com.actionbarsherlock.r.id.abs__action_bar_title;             actionbarsubtitle = com.actionbarsherlock.r.id.abs__action_bar_subtitle;         }         textview title = (textview) activity.getwindow().findviewbyid(                 actionbartitle);         textview subtitle = (textview) activity.getwindow().findviewbyid(                 actionbarsubtitle);         if (title != null | subtitle != null) {             title.settypeface(slab);             subtitle.settypeface(slab);             subtitle.settextcolor(color.parsecolor("#ffffffff"));         }     } 

edit: removeing configchanges androidmanifest in fact fix problem actionbar, need them keep webview reloading whenever device rotated. have ideas how can keep them both?

it may not want hear right now, better try recreate layout in new orientation, rather preventing orientation change.

in oncreate check whether there saved instance (as result of orientation change) e.g.

if (savedinstancestate == null) {   //recreate current state } else {   //normal start } 

you might need retain values (either in shared prefs or onsavedinstancestate).

this approach more difficult locking orientation, better approach in long run , worth investment (extra effort).
