onCreate will be called whenever your activity is being run and the system has no currently running instance of your app (say they run your app yesterday and between then and now they run Browser, Gmail, and a couple games--chances are the memory allocated to your app has been freed so the games could use it and your running app has now been completely destroyed--requiring the system to restart your app entirely, calling onCreate). If your memory has not been purged since your last run, when your activity starts it will skip onCreate and go straight to onResume.
Basically, any code that you need to run every time the user opens your activity should go in onResume, not onCreate. -Nick On Apr 5, 11:04 am, hiwa <[email protected]> wrote: > > How to call Activity's onCreate() method each time it starts? > > > Only first time when installed on device it calls onCreate method. > > If I have understood you correctly, then you need to read a bit more > about Activity in general (http://developer.android.com/reference/ > android/app/Activity.html).
