Description

I developed an automatic test case generation tool and it detected these problems in your app.
I would like to know if you consider them as failures and, if not, why. Thanks for your collaboration.

  1. MainActivity, when I change the orientation of the device screen, loses its state and different widgets disappear. Below there are two examples: the images are the screenshots taken before and after a double orientation change.

--- first case ---

The options inside the dialog are different after the orientation change.

--- second case ---

The "search" dialog disappears.

Research direction

Start in MainActivity and reproduce the reported orientation changes using the screenshots and the two cases described: changed dialog options and a disappearing search dialog. Trace how the activity and its dialogs handle orientation changes; done means the dialog state, options, and search dialog remain consistent after rotating the screen.
