Use of Activity methods

Question

Can someone neatly explain the use of following Activity methods :

• onStart

• onResume

• onPause

• onStop

• onDestroy

• onRestart

I know these are basic methods one should know while programming in Android. But frankly I have not been able to implement these methods in my applications in a wise way.

You're forgetting probably the most important, onCreate. Try reading up on this: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html#ActivityLifecycle
