Android Activity Life Cycle

• Does not crash if the user receives a phone call or switches to another app while using your app.
• Does not consume valuable system resources when the user is not actively using it.
• Does not lose the user's progress if they leave your app and return to it at a later time.
• Does not crash or lose the user's progress when the screen rotates between landscape and portrait orientation.

Every knows about create the activity and start the activity

Resumed

In this state, the activity is in the foreground and the user can interact with it. (Also sometimes referred to as the "running" state.)

Paused

In this state, the activity is partially obscured by another activity—the other activity that's in the foreground is semi-transparent or doesn't cover the entire screen. The paused activity does not receive user input and cannot execute any code.

Stopped

In this state, the activity is completely hidden and not visible to the user; it is considered to be in the background. While stopped, the activity instance and all its state information such as member variables is retained, but it cannot execute any code.
