Lifecycle of an Android ‘Developer'
Taking the 'Material' out of the 'Design’.
Many of you are familiar with the Lifecycle of any particular language and some of you maybe thinking that this blog is all about that.
But this blog is little creative than some of your thoughts, which brings out the other part of the coin i.e The Lifecycle of an Android Developer and how they cope up with the pace.
1) onCreate() - The First Intro with Android
Every human before becoming an Android Developer don’t know - What to do in his/her career? Then from nowhere comes something called 'Android' - An Open Source Operating System(this much information you have before-hand).
It can come across like an Undergraduate Project for the final semester or some opportunity to fill the gap in some area using the App.
2) onStart() - Taking it as a new language
And now when you know you have to develop something in Android which can be further used by some good number of users, you start roaming and surfing around all the available Websites, Tutorials, Blogs and stackoverflow.com.
And I can tell you some interesting thing about this process, the more you go through everything - the more you get attracted towards Android. And this is just the start you wanted.
3) onResume() - Living in that for some more time
And as the time goes on and on and on, that Developer becomes more fluent and somewhat addicted to the process and resumes every thing of his/her life with Android.
And the most funniest thing is, he/she become that much Android Developer in their thoughts that their talks also reflects in like — Let’s make an Android App which takes Water and Flour in input and pops out the 'Chapati(Roti)' as an output from USB Port.
4) onPause() - Take a look at some other languages
And there are some point of time in the lifecycle of that developer that he/she just trying to get a sneak peek of any other latest language introduced in the market.
As a normal human behavior, now that developer gets involved in that new programming language and leaving in between the Android thing. But as obvious only for some bit of time because at the end of the day — you are an Android Developer from deep inside.
5) onStop() - Let’s break up and move on
Frankly writing, I have not been in this state till now from the day I have started or chosen Android as a Developer.
But I think as a normal human being we all have our choices and decisions whether to continue with something or move on with some new and fresh option .
6) onRestart() - Always easy to Reload the Android Gun
Once you learned how to code in Android, it’s just a matter of time to flush it all over in your mind again.
This is very rare and not so famous process for developers to restart in Android again as they either stick to it for ever or completely move on with some other language.
7) onDestroy() - It’s not gonna call ever
As per my knowledge and understanding of Android — it will take years to call this method in a whole lifetime of Android Developer because for a one simple reason - it has so many new and exciting things introduced each week and each month that it’s really cool to just continue this lovely platform.
Kudossss to Android Lifestyle and it’s Developers.
