        mRecyclerView.setAdapter(mAdapter);
        Log.d("State","onConfigurationChanged");
    }
}

I've tried using savedInstance and configurationChanged, maybe how im use id is wrong. and sorry to my bad english. Thanks

One solution can be using Architecture Components , more precisely LiveData and ViewModel , the first sentence of the ViewModel documentation says:

The ViewModel class is designed to store and manage UI-related data in a lifecycle conscious way. The ViewModel class allows data to survive configuration changes such as screen rotations.

It involves learning a new concept if you are not familiar with it, but it's worth it. This article provides a great introduction. But you will probably benefit the most from the codelab , and the documentation.
