How to save text entered in EditText after orientation changed?

I have two activities: 1.Main Activity which contains listview; 2.Second Activity which add item to listview in Main Activity.

For Second Activity I created layout-land layout for landscape.

After Second Activity is opens in portrait, I change it to landscape mode - Second Activity close and app return to Main Activity.

Questions: 1.How save entered to EditText fields values after orientation is changed?

2.And how to apply layout-land to Second Activity when change screen orientation to landscape?

UPD Second activity code:

public class AddItem extends MainScreen implements OnClickListener{
final String LOG_TAG = "myLogs";
EditText comment_enter, link_enter, password_enter, login_enter, title_enter, date_enter;
Button add_item_button, add_more_button, clear_close_button;
CheckBox showPass;
DBHelper db;
DataBase DB;
SimpleCursorAdapter passListViewAdapter;
SimpleDateFormat sdf;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    setContentView(R.layout.add_item);
    Log.d(LOG_TAG, "before edit : ");

    comment_enter = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.comment_enter);
    link_enter = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.link_enter);
    password_enter = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.password_enter);
    login_enter = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.login_enter);
    title_enter = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.title_enter);
    date_enter = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.date_enter);

    showPass = (CheckBox) findViewById(R.id.showPass);
       showPass.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new OnCheckedChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView,
                boolean isChecked) {
            Log.d(LOG_TAG, "is checked : " + isChecked);
            if (isChecked) {
                password_enter.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_VISIBLE_PASSWORD);
            } 
            else {
                password_enter.setInputType(129);
            }
        }
    });

    add_item_button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.add_item_button);
    add_item_button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
         public void onClick(View v) {

i advise you to read a bit more about Android Activity life cycle it will help you. However on configuration Change android destroy you are activity and recreate and you can use the callback method OnsavedInstanceState() to save you instance (it will be call automatically by the system on configuration change)

example 

    public   void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState){

    super.onSaveInstanceState(savedInstanceState);{
        String savedText =  myEditText.getText().toString();
        savedInstanceState.putString("Key", savedText);
   }

Now when the app is recreated on OnCreate method retrieve your saved text as follow :

 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
     super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    if(savedInstanceState != null){
                myEditText.setText(savedInstanceState.getString("Key"); 
  //the rest of the code}

Voila and I hope that is that you meant.

use this one: 

android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize"

add this code in your manifest file. No need to save the edit text variable.
