The only 'correction' needed, Roger, is that backing out is the
wrong term. When Activity A 'calls' Activity B (really, sending an
Intent), no backing out takes place. Backing out is a much more
appropriate term for what happens when the user presses the Back key,
which causes finish() to be

That's basically it.
No because I don't believe onDestroy would necessarily get called
backing out of the activity. Only onPause would be guaranteed to be
called. That activity's onDestrw would only get called at some random
point in the future when the OS wants more memory.
OnPause is the primary. At least that is
that's beautiful, Diane! The matched-pair thing exactly what I was
wanting to confirm - logcat messages are making a little more sense.
Here's a summary as I understand it pulled from your interleaved
response - let me know if I'm missing something.
Matching pairs of events for an activity

If one activity calls another, and when you then press Back from that
activity, wouldn't the calling of onDestroy() assure you that the called
activity is truly gone and the memory is freed? (Or conversely, if it isn't
called, the activity may live on due to dangling references?)

Thanks, Dianne, for this very valuable supplement to the mysterious
documentation on the Activity lifecycle!

Actually, comparing with the text, I don't think it means just what
is says. There is an asymmetry in the states, an asymmetry I believe
is deliberate, if poorly explained: that between onPause and onResume:

I recently wrote my first android app, and I too did not grasp the
life cycle functions and they just didn't seem to work correctly, or
the way I thought they should based on the graph. Here's my learned
knowledge from writing my app.
OnPause and onResume turned out to be by far and above the
Interesting summary, but I don't think it addresses ALL the OP's
legitimate concerns, hence my own questions/comments below:

1. The phrasing on the legs into and out of onPause()
As you say, onPause() and onResume() are by far the most commonly called.
But if you run your app on a G1, and run it with other apps, you will see
onStop() and onDestroy() called. You should also see onDestroy() called
whenever the user presses the Back button, which calls finish(); but when
