Is onCreate () the First Method to Be Called by the Android Compiler?
Contents

5 Answers. The Application constructor will be called first. Then the Application::onCreate() method will be called. The only exception I know of is if the Application contains a ContentProvider, it can receive calls before the Application does.

What is it called when an application is onCreate?

Called when the application is starting, before any activity, service, or receiver objects (excluding content providers) have been created.

Is onCreate always called?

The OnCreate() method is called each time the activity is displayed (created). So each time you call the startActivity(intent) method, the OnCreate method will be called.
