In Which scanario's do onSaveInstanceState(Bundle) and onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle) get triggered?

Question

the only place where I notice these methods getting a call is when we rotate the screen. so do guys know of any other scenario where these methods will be triggered?

Answer 1

onSaveInstanceState: onSaveInstanceState method gets called before or after onStop() is called. This varies from Android version to version. In the older versions, it used to get before onStop() onRestoreInstanceState: This method gets triggered only when something was saved in onSaveInstanceState method. It gets called after onStart() For more reference https://www.journaldev.com/22621/android-onsaveinstancestate-onrestoreinstancestate[1] and https://medium.com/@doyouseeitmyway/save-and-restore-instance-state-made-easy-cf6f175f54b0
