How to make spotlight persistence. If the current Configuration changes, from port to landscape, then spotlight index should persist.

Consider a situation when there are some configuration changes. In the current spotlight, I don't think there is any way we can persist the targeted index. In my experience, if the screen is rotated, then the spotlight restart from the beginning.

Also, consider if the user is using a different UI for different orientations, then in that case we will have to use a different layout for each target. But the thing is, the spotlight takes predefined layout targets. How can we conditionally or with some other method can change the target layout during runtime?

Everything is recreated on rotation, so the target should move with the anchored view. The only thing that would need to be adjusted are your buttons and possibly the text view, but if you are using a ConstraintLayout, then they will move as well with the rotation. If your views are that different with different orientations, you'll have to check the orientation before setting the target/spotlight layout and set it accordingly.
