Android :: Why Does App Not Get OnDestroy When Exited But Then Receives An OnCreate When Relaunched
Sep 11, 2009
Why does app not get onDestroy when exited but then receives an onCreate when relaunched?
Here is the trace. Launched app
It received onCreate and the other expected on calls for a launch. Now, leave application with the home button and it receives onSaveInstanceState onPause onStop
And returns to the main Android screen (the one with Google Search at the top) Launch the app again and it receives onCreate onStart onResume
The docs say onCreate is Called when the activity is first created. But here it is never destroyed but created again. There are many objects that never got GCed because the app was not onDestroyed?
Is this a memory leak? What have I missed? Or should I assume that onCreate can be recalled for an already created app.

when writing a ContentProvider I have to implement the onCreate()-method, in which I establish my database connection. But to write the changes I made to the database I have to close the database on some point. Does something like a onDestroy()-method exist for ContentProviders or is there some intent I have to listen to, which is fired before killing my process?

is there a way to tell Android that I would like subsequent calls to startActivity() all resume the target activity rather than creating it over and over again? Any workarounds?

I am just wondering about how android handles sms when it receives them. More precisely my question is when the android phone receives a sms message, which application saves the message to the mmssms database? Is this done by the OS or by the native sms application?

I'm trying to listen for preference changes from an activity (see below). It never fires. Is it due to the fact that the activity in question is not in focus when the change event fires?

I would like to write an Android application that can be activated by sending it a command from a web site. Is this possible? Actually, the app would be running on the phone and I would be sending it a command via HTTP.

I can send MMS messages perfectly fine, but if someone tries to send me one I get nothing. No notification or any way of knowing I didn't get it unless someone tells me they tried to send me one.
I see in the GO SMS settings the MMS part is in Red, but there don't appear to be any settings to resolve the issue.

I understand that the system may kill the activity without calling onDestroy(). Say I have a MediaPlayer that runs even when it's not visible, I would be releasing the player in onDestroy() method.Now, if the system decides to kill the activity after calling onPause() and never called onDestroy(), what does it mean for my MediaPlayer? Is it ever released? This is bigger problem for Camera since I think it requires to be released for other activities to use it.

I use AlarmManager to restart my service, code is:
CODE:........................
After 5 seconds, BootCompleteReceiver will startServcie(), but only see onStart() not onCreate() calls.
Is the way of destroying the service wrong? BootCompleteReceiver is written in AndroidManifest.xml

Testing onDestroy.
Q: does using a lot of RAM in one application always lead to onDestroy being called on Activities in other applications?
To try and figure this out I created two separately installed applications. The first just logs its lifecycle transitions and the second allocates a chunk of memory each time you press a button.
What I saw was the second application eventually suffered a fatal Out Of Memory Error force close. The onDestroy method was not called on the first logging application and when I switched back to it onResume was called.
My conclusion is that using a lot of memory in a single application will lead to a fatal Out Of Memory Error without onDestroy first being called on Activities in other applications. The documentation left me expecting an onDestroy on the logging application since the foreground application was trying to allocate more memory.
Does the above sound right? What's a good way to test the onCreate/ onDestroy lifecycle methods as they relate to low memory?

Every once in a while my activity gets restarted after it's destroyed instead of being created again. I.e. I see:
CODE:..........
instead of:
CODE:............
Looking back in my log I can see this happening periodically, but no apparent pattern to it. This certainly isn't in the state diagram, and needless to say this doesn't make for a happy app.

Each time I switch the orientation of the device, onStop() and onDestroy() are called. They are also called when I close the Avtivity (dismiss()), and when I press 'back' key. In onStop() or onDestroy() methods : how can I know how I can here ? I'd like to run some code when I close the Activity (back button), but not if I change screen orientation

When user presses BACK key, my activity's onDestroy is called and then it is killed. Is there a way (by overridding Activity.onKeyDown??) to simply put the activity into background without killing it? I want the BACK key to act like the HOME key (which doesn't kill my app), except I want to show the activity immediately below my activity.

I added TextToSpeech to my app, following the guidelines in the following post:
http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/09/introduction-to-text-to-speech-in.html
and now my onDestroy is no longer called when the back button is pressed.
I filed a bug report regarding this: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=7674
Figured i should also ask here if someone else has seen this, and found a solution?
It seems that it is the intent that causes the problem, i.e. the following:
CODE:................
If I skip this intent, and just go ahead and create a tts-instance, it works fine.
Any clues to what is wrong with this intent?

A service is setup by an activity with startService(service_intent). This service is meant to run 24 hours a day. After some amount of time, 5 or 6 hours sometimes but its not predictable, the service is killed.In the database log, the destroyed message does not show up and the notification #1 is not cancelled. Android makes no attempt to restart the service. The database log will show the startup of the replacement service if I trigger it by visiting the activity. What can I do to keep this service running or at least get it restarted by android automatically?

I have an application with a single Activity implemented as a singleton (in the AndroidManifest). It implements a Listener I wrote. When the application is first run the Listener works fine. When I use the "home" button to minimize it, then open it again it's still fine.
But when I press the back button then run it again from the application icon, the Listener doesn't work fully. The code runs and the Listening methods are called as usual but none of the UI elements that are listening update. It requires a restart of the phone to get the listener working again after this point.
I know the "back" button doesn't really close the application, per se. But resetting the phone sure does! Is there a way to use the onDestroy() or similar method to call a function that actually closes the application? I'm asking because restarting the phone is the only way to get the listener back so I was hoping I could do that programmatic ally.
For example, my progress bar is a member variable of my Activity, but onCreate() I do "progressBar = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.progress_bar);" Is this perhaps creating a separate instance of it or something?

If I override my main Activity's onDestroy() method in order to recycle a bitmap when the screen is rotated, should I call super.onDestroy() before or after myBitmap.recycle()? Does it matter?

OnActivityResult is giving me major headaches. My little game has a title / menu screen. Upon clicking "new game" an Activity is launched which creates a SurfaceView for my game world.
When playing, the player can enter buildings in the game world. Upon entering a building I launch the activity for that particular building from my SurfaveView.
Here is an example:
CODE:............
mMap is the SurfaceView. I'm passing a bundle containing the state of the player. In onActivityResult I grab the bundle returned by the store activity and update the player state.
CODE:................
mSavedPlayer is later used to set the new player state.
All the above works generally
I can enter stores, buy stuff, leave and the player is updated correctly.
The problem manifests when I press the Home button (or someyimes back button) and onDestroy gets called. My onDestroy method does nothing besides call super.onDestroy();
After onDestroy() gets called onActivityResult no longer gets called.
So:
1) I play the game, everthing works great.
2) I press home and ondestroy is called
3) relaunch my game via launcher icon
4) Resume game. I can still enter and leave stores but onActivityResult is no longer called.
Here is some logcat output. I'm logging each time I enter a relevant method.
CODE:................................

My Incredible paired easily with my Toyota car bluetooth and works great, however. . . . everytime the phone sends or receives data (incoming text or email or looking at the internet or answering a text) it mutes the stereo for a couple seconds. It is as if the phone is preparing to make a call. Anyone have any ideas what is going on here? (of course, I'm only looking at the phone while stopped at a traffic light.)

I am working on a MVC implementation for Android (to be subsequently hosted on SF and/or GC).
It works like this:
Activity (View) <=> Application (Controller) <=> Data (Model) <=> Persistence (DB/Network etc)
The scenario is:
1. Activity launch (main/launcher)
2. Notifies Application about performing a data transaction
3. Upon receipt of data response, controller devices which Activity to launch (or update existing)
4. Application has overridden the method onConfigurationChange
Problem: When the orientation is changed, the Application is notified about onConfigurationChange but:
a) The "current" activity is Destroyed and recreated -- which is fine to some extent b) The new instance which is created is automatically => onCreate, onPause, onStop, onDestroy.... now that's catastrophic.

why onDestroy is being logged twice for the fragment class in the the following code when the orientation of the device changes. Its logged once for the activity class, but twice for the fragment.
Code:
public class ExampleActivity extends Activity {
protected String LOG_TAG = ExampleActivity.class.getSimpleName();
private FrameLayout mFragmentHolder;[code].....

i`ve got some problems with finish() method. I expect what after calling on my Activity finish() method onStop and onDestroy must be triggered(or am wrong??), in majority of examples they are, but Scenario: - reboot phone - launch activity - invoke finish() onPause is triggered but afterwards they are no calls to onStop() and onDestroy()I`ve noticed, that those calls are triggered after launching any other activity.
