Is that correct ? > If what you mean is the process, then your answer is a no. Assuming this is an Activity that can be launched from the launcher, i.e. no other Intent, a process will be spawned the first time the user decides to start your Activity. Then it goes through the lifecycle as described quite well in the Activity documentation. Thus it is quite likely that onCreate gets called multiple times, e.g. if you have not over-ridden the orientation change, it will get called whenever the phone moves from landscape to portrait or vice versa. You can test this out quite easily on the emulator. Thus, if you have static variables etc. they will live thru all of this. Your view will be cleaned up and redone in the onCreate. > 2) Just like for the big bang, before the oncreate of my activity, > nothing exists for that activity, so memory consumption is zero, no > objects exists right ? > Not correct. onCreate is called on an instance, so all the static variables and any thing else required by your instance, e.g. a String that you may have defined as a member variable etc is already loaded.

If yes and you hold a reference to your Activity object elsewhere, you might leak for every orientation change. ... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] OutOfMemory exception in OnCreate
Hi all,
I'm having a hard time resolving a crash report.
It's an OutOfMemory exception that occurs during the setContentView in
the onCreate of my main activity.
I just want to be sure I understood Android LifeCycle well :
1) The onCreate of my main activity is called once and only once
during the life time of my application ? Is that correct ?
2) Just like for the big bang, before the oncreate of my activity,
nothing exists for that activity, so memory consumption is zero, no
objects exists right ?
So what can cause that sometimes, with random framework and devices, I
get an OOM exception ?
I mean if say my background image is causing this, it should blow up
everytime, on every device, shouldn't it ? I mean the result should be
reliable.
The background image is a standard jpg : 360*480 weighing 37kb,
nothing fancy really :s
