Ideally, you write your activities to handle configuration changes.
Bear in mind that you aren't handling dock events, the new
rotation-based stuff for Android 3.2+, locale changes, or other
configuration changes. Your app will break for all of those too.

You have "portrait" misspelled.

Beyond that, your configChanges seems fine. But, again, ideally you
get rid of both the screenOrientation and the configChanges attributes
and support both orientations, using onSaveInstanceState() and
onRetainNonConfigurationInstance() (or, if you are using fragments,
using setRetainInstance(true) with those).
