write the following in your activity declaration in manifest file

android:configChanges="orientation"

It will prevent your activity to be restarted when orientation is changed.

EDIT:

From this so answer it suggested to use the following for newer api

android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"

You can save and restore your state of Activity using onSaveInstanceState() and onRestoreInstanceState().

Preventing orientation change is also a good method, but i'd like to recommend to use these functions for more flexibility to your application.
