Hmm, I'm definitely seeing onResume getting called in a quick test app with logging of life cycle methods for the activities in the tabs.
That said, you can get even more life cycle methods called each time by using the Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP flag like in the API demos: http://developer.android.com/intl/zh-CN/guide/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/example/android/apis/view/Tabs3.html I'll attach the logs below for starting on the first tab, then going to the others in this order: second, third, first, second, third The activity for the third tab is being launched with the clear top flag. I/LifeCycleLogger: first tab( 1904): onCreate I/LifeCycleLogger: first tab( 1904): onContentChanged I/LifeCycleLogger: first tab( 1904): onStart I/LifeCycleLogger: first tab( 1904): onPostCreate I/LifeCycleLogger: first tab( 1904): onResume I/LifeCycleLogger: first tab( 1904): onPostResume I/LifeCycleLogger: tabs( 1904): Startup and showing first tab complete. I/LifeCycleLogger: first tab( 1904): onSaveInstanceState I/LifeCycleLogger: first tab( 1904): onPause I/LifeCycleLogger: second tab( 1904): onCreate I/LifeCycleLogger: second tab( 1904): onContentChanged I/LifeCycleLogger: second tab( 1904): onStart I/LifeCycleLogger: second tab( 1904): onPostCreate I/LifeCycleLogger: second tab( 1904): onResume I/LifeCycleLogger: second tab( 1904): onPostResume I/LifeCycleLogger: tabs( 1904): Changed to tab: second tab I/LifeCycleLogger: second tab( 1904): onSaveInstanceState I/LifeCycleLogger: second tab( 1904): onPause I/LifeCycleLogger: third tab( 1904): onCreate I/LifeCycleLogger: third tab( 1904): onContentChanged I/LifeCycleLogger: third tab( 1904): onStart I/LifeCycleLogger: third tab( 1904): onPostCreate I/LifeCycleLogger: third tab( 1904): onResume I/LifeCycleLogger: third tab( 1904): onPostResume I/LifeCycleLogger: tabs( 1904): Changed to tab: third tab I/LifeCycleLogger: third tab( 1904): onSaveInstanceState I/LifeCycleLogger: third tab( 1904): onPause I/LifeCycleLogger: first tab( 1904): onResume I/LifeCycleLogger: first tab( 1904): onPostResume I/LifeCycleLogger: tabs( 1904): Changed to tab: first tab I/LifeCycleLogger: first tab( 1904): onSaveInstanceState I/LifeCycleLogger: first tab( 1904): onPause I/LifeCycleLogger: second tab( 1904): onResume I/LifeCycleLogger: second tab( 1904): onPostResume I/LifeCycleLogger: tabs( 1904): Changed to tab: second tab I/LifeCycleLogger: second tab( 1904): onSaveInstanceState I/LifeCycleLogger: second tab( 1904): onPause I/LifeCycleLogger: third tab( 1904): onStop I/LifeCycleLogger: third tab( 1904): onDestroy I/LifeCycleLogger: third tab( 1904): onCreate I/LifeCycleLogger: third tab( 1904): onContentChanged I/LifeCycleLogger: third tab( 1904): onStart I/LifeCycleLogger: third tab( 1904): onPostCreate I/LifeCycleLogger: third tab( 1904): onResume I/LifeCycleLogger: third tab( 1904): onPostResume I/LifeCycleLogger: tabs( 1904): Changed to tab: third tab On Nov 20, 1:40 pm, JasonMP <[email protected]> wrote: > presumably, except my code that I place in the onResume never gets run > when the tabs are switched. > > On Nov 20, 1:27 pm, Lance Nanek <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Doesn't onPause get called on the activity whose tab you are leaving > > and onResume get called for the activity whose tab you are going to? > > > On Nov 20, 11:22 am, JasonMP <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Eddie, > > > > The onTabChanged must be called from with my main TabActivity correct? > > > > If this is the case this isn't the solution I'm looking for.
