Android : update static int when value change in onConfigurationChanged

i declared public static int ii; on top of MainActivity.class

public class MainActivity extends Activity {    

    public static int ii;

and i am changing int value in onConfigurationChanged

@Override
    public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
        super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
        // Checks the orientation of the screen
        if (newConfig.orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) {
            Toast.makeText(this, "landscape", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

            ii=16;

        } else if (newConfig.orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT) {
            Toast.makeText(this, "portrait", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

            ii=8;

        }
    }

now the problem is, value is not updating from onConfigurationChanged to public static int ii;

i found something for string to update value: private static final String TAG = MainActivity.class.getSimpleName();

but i don't know how to implement something for integer to update value from onConfigurationChanged to public static int ii;
