Android Activity Life Cycle Demo

public class LifeCycleTest extends Activity {
    private static final String TAG = "ActivityLifeTest";

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        Log.v(TAG, "onCreate");
        
        Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&saddr=startLat%20startLng&daddr=endLat%20endLng&hl=en");  
        Intent it = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);  
        startActivity(it);  
    }

    public void onStart() {
        super.onStart();
        Log.v(TAG, "onStart");
    }

    public void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        Log.v(TAG, "onResume");
    }

    public void onPause() {
        super.onPause();
        Log.v(TAG, "onPause");
    }

    public void onStop() {
        super.onStop();
        Log.v(TAG, "onStop");
    }

    public void onRestart() {
        super.onRestart();
        Log.v(TAG, "onReStart");
    }

    public void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();
        Log.v(TAG, "onDestroy");
    }
}

First, new a project with Google APIs.

Then, Run it.

We can see that Log:ActivityLifeTest is onPause now. It means the Intent start another Activity.

If we press “BACK”, Activity:LifeCycleTest will resume again.

Now, restart the Activity, and press “Maps”.

We can find out that Activity:LifeCycleTest  is stopped. It means Activity:LifeCycleTest  is no longer visible.

Finally, press “BACK” to the Activity:LifeCycleTest, and Activity:LifeCycleTest will restart.

If we leave the Activity:LifeCycleTest, Activity:LifeCycleTest will be destroyed.
