Android, Vuforia and mUnityPlayer.exit()

After porting a basic Vuforia application over to Android, and allowing me to change to it as a new activity i started working on embedding it of sorts into an activity. Here i found the problem that turning the phone would call onDestroy, and also the unityplayers mUnityPlayer.quit().

In an attempt to work around it, i tried to put it in its own fragment, allowing the fragment to be closed and recreated, but to no avail. Seems like mUnityPlayer.quit() closes the application completely.

Is there a good way to prevent the unityplayer from closing the application whenever i change orientation without using android:config or locking the orientation of the application?

Edit: By dropping fragments and putting it all into the mainActivity it gave the same effect as i'd hope. Solution was found here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23467994/errors-managing-the-unityplayer-lifecycle-in-a-native-android-application?noredirect=1&lq=1

Still, shame you can't make it work with a fragment, meaning it has to be the main part of the activity.

MainActivity:

     private Button startUnityActivity;
     private Button startUnityEmbedded;
 
     @Override protected void onCreate (Bundle savedInstanceState)
     {
         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
         setContentView(R.layout.mainactivity);
 
         if (savedInstanceState == null)
         {
             Fragment newFragment = new UnityFragment();
             FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
             ft.add(R.id.UnityFragment, newFragment).commit();
         }
     }

UnityFragment:

 public class UnityFragment extends Fragment
 {
     protected UnityPlayer mUnityPlayer;
     private FrameLayout unityFrame;
 
     public UnityFragment() {}
 
     @Override
     public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState)
     {
         View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.unityfragment, container, false);
         mUnityPlayer = new UnityPlayer(getActivity());
 
         this.unityFrame = (FrameLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.UnityFragment);
         this.unityFrame.addView(mUnityPlayer.getView(), FrameLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, FrameLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
 
         mUnityPlayer.requestFocus();
         // mUnityPlayer.windowFocusChanged(true); // Fix for blackscreen unity player.
 
         return view;
     }
 
     // Quit Unity
     @Override
     public void onDestroy() {
         mUnityPlayer.quit();
         super.onDestroy();
     }
 
     // Pause Unity
     @Override
     public void onPause() {
         super.onPause();
         mUnityPlayer.pause();
     }
 
     // Resume Unity
     @Override
     public void onResume() {
         super.onResume();
         mUnityPlayer.resume();
     }
 }
