You haven't shown us enough of your code (code snippets) for us to begin figuring out what may be wrong with your app. Could you provide more details?
But to your questions; 1. The onCreate is called once per Activity instance. If you have instance-variables/fields in you activity, you can assume they are null/0/false when you onCreate is being called. But since many instances of your activity can exists, the onCreate can be called multiple times (once per instance activity). 2. Before the onCreate, memory has been created and is in use by the system.
