What is difference between onCreate() and onStart() on Android?
This example demonstrates the difference between onCreate() and onStart() in Android.
Note −
- onCreate() is called when the when the activity is first created.
- onStart() is called when the activity is becoming visible to the user.
Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project.
Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" tools:context=".MainActivity"> <TextView android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Have a very nice day!" android:textSize="35dp" android:textStyle="bold" android:textColor="@color/colorAccent" android:layout_centerInParent="true" android:padding="20sp" android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" /> </LinearLayout>
Step 3 − Add the following code to src/MainActivity.java
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.util.Log; public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity { public static final String TAG = "Have a nice day!"; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); Log.i(TAG,"onCreate"); } protected void onStart(){ super.onStart(); Log.i(TAG,"onStart"); } }
Step 4 − Add the following code to androidManifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="app.com.sample"> <application android:allowBackup="true" android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round" android:supportsRtl="true" android:theme="@style/AppTheme"> <activity android:name=".MainActivity"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> </application> </manifest>
