App crash when changing orientation

When I change orientation from portrait to landscape, app closing.
If in buildozer.spec file I change set 'android.minapi = 13', then all works fine.

I can reproduce the bug with the kivy showcase app.

@inclement, should we move this to p4a?

Yes please, although there was at least one other bug report about it which may have been partially resolved.

If you add on_pause works?
Because It seems to be the same problem that I had and I solved this way (do not crash anymore). But now I have a slightly different problem #732
It may be related to this?

This problem (app crash on rotate) is easily resolved by the counter-measure described by the original poster:
'android.minapi = 13'
What happens, if we ship buildozer with a default spec file with this setting in place? I do not know. Thus I suggest in adding this still commented. And add a warning: If the app crashes on rotation, un-comment the minapi-line.
Should I do a pull-request for buildozer?

Solved by many changes since then, and also these old APIs are no longer supported.
