I like to think of onResume/onPause like focus events. When an Activity loses focus, either by being partially covered by a dialog or another Activity, onPause() is called. If the activity regains focus, onResume() is called. If the activity not only loses focus, but becomes non-visible (this is like when a desktop window is minimized), onStop() is called after onPause() has been called.
The Activity lifecycle seems to be the #1 stumbling block for Android programmers. But I don't think this is the fault of the documentation. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
