What is the difference between OnCreate and OnStart?
My understanding is that OnCreate is only called the very first time the application is opened and is never called again. Is this true? Can someone please elaborate in their own words rather than copying and pasting a definition? Thank you!
As long as your device does not kill the activity, for example due to low system resources, then any time you leave your app and go back, onStart is called. If however the application process is killed, then when you return onCreate will be called again, because all of your resources will have been released.
