Activity and Fragment Lifecycle - Android

Shoaib Ahmed — Sun, 24 Apr 2022 15:00:58 +0000

Activities are one of the most crucial app components in #Android #Development. They serve as the basic entry points into our app and contains our user interface.

Activities have their own life-cycle, which is a set of callbacks initiated at a particular activity state.

To know them better, I have made a repository which helps to understand the flow of these life-cycle callbacks. I have placed block comments over each callback function explaining their initiating state/condition and what sort of code should be placed in them. This also covers the life-cycle of fragments as well.

Just clone, run, perform flows and observe your callback in the logcat. Don't forget to star it is you like it.

NOTE: #Jetpack #Compose version coming soon...

A year ago I started working with Flutter and made an app for practicing. Today I'm making that project public on github.

This app is a static mobile version of the Sewistic web app, a Karachi based startup providing hassle free tailoring services.

Feel free to fork it, clone it, use it as a widget template or resource and also contribute through your PRs as there is a lot of room for improvements in the code. I myself will be commiting to it on and off.
