Component - Lifecycle awareness

This component demonstrates how an Android activity responds to lifecycle events like creation, start, resume, pause, stop, and destroy. It helps you understand when and how the app reacts to user actions or system changes.

Widget Tree
Activity
├── onCreate()
├── onStart()
├── onResume()
├── onPause()
├── onStop()
└── onDestroy()
The Activity is the main screen container. It goes through lifecycle methods in order: onCreate sets up UI, onStart makes it visible, onResume allows interaction. onPause and onStop happen when the app loses focus or is hidden. onDestroy cleans up before the activity is removed.
