rotate the screen, the loacation come back to START_PATH

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. open the filedialog with the START_PATH: /
2. select a directory, such as /etc
3. rotate the screen, the loacation come back to START_PATH

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The location should keep the same when the screen was rotated.
I see the loaction come back to START_PATH instead.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I found this problem in android 2.1， 2.2

Please provide any additional information below.
to fix this problem, the onPause method should be overrided.

    @Override
    protected void onPause() {
        String myPathStr = myPath.getText().toString();
        int idx = myPathStr.lastIndexOf(':');
        String currPath = myPathStr.substring(idx + 2);
        getIntent().putExtra(START_PATH, currPath);
        super.onPause();
    }

You should onRetainNonConfigurationInstance() and not use onPause().

Submitting patch.

Fixed it using the following code on FileDialog.java:

@Override
    public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onSaveInstanceState(savedInstanceState);

        savedInstanceState.putString("CurrentPath", currentPath);

    }

    @Override
    public void onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onRestoreInstanceState(savedInstanceState);

        currentPath = savedInstanceState.getString("CurrentPath");

        getDir(currentPath);

    }
