overriding onPause and onResume - proper way
When overriding the onPause()
and the onResume()
methods of the activity, where is the proper location to call the super.onPause()
and super.onResume()
? At the beginning of the method or at the end?
From http://developer.android.com/guide/components/activities.html#ImplementingLifecycleCallbacks:
Your implementation of these lifecycle methods must always call the superclass implementation before doing any work, as shown in the examples above.
So, for lifecycle callbacks, like onPause()
and onResume()
, we should do super.onPause()
or super.onResume()
at the very beginning. For other methods, it all depends on the semantics of the super class.
