Android Activities

Just like other programming languages such as C/C++, the Android system also initiates with a main activity. To do this, we use a callback method onCreate() and after that, a series of callback methods are called to start an activity.

Android Activity lifecycle

 

The activity class is used to define various events. Let’s understand these methods below:

  • onCreate(): This is the first callback method called on the creation of an activity.
  • onStart(): This method is called when the activity starts and becomes visible to the user.
  • onRestart(): As the name suggests, the method is called when the activity restarts after stopping it. 
  • onResume(): This callback method is called when the user starts performing an activity with the application. 
  • onPause(): This method is used to pause the activity when the user is no more interacting with the application. 
  • onStop(): The method is called when the activity is stopped and the application is no longer visible to the user. 
  • onDestroy(): This callback method is initiated when the activity is destroyed by the system due to some error or by the user.
