Hi @AreejH, thanks for using our SDK.

Since you are implementing a custom UI, you must manually manage the lifecycle of your UI elements when the configuration changes. For more info, please see Google’s [documentation](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/runtime-changes) on this matter.

Thanks!

Hi @AreejH, thanks for the clarification.

Unless this is an issue caused directly by the SDK’s functionality, it is not something that we are able to assist with. Unfortunately, the best I can do is guide you towards Google’s documentation I provided in my previous post.

If you discover that a specific piece of the SDK is not functioning properly, please do not hesitate to reach out and we will do our best to help!

Thanks!
