Android: Is onResume always called after onCreate?

I need to know if there is ever an instance when onResume will be called before onCreate has been called at least once. Thanks.

Edit: Judging by the activity life cycle, it doesn't seem so. But I want to double check.

onResume() will never be called before onCreate().

Read more about it in the Activity Lifecycle

onResume() will always be called when the activity goes into foreground, but it will never be executed before onCreate().

you can refer the website for more details

I had an issue in which overridden onCreate was not getting called. I tried debugging and logging and i found oncreate not getting called.

Turns out that i override wrong onCreate

@Override
    public void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState, @Nullable PersistableBundle persistentState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState, persistentState);
    }

This is the correct one.

@Override
    protected void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    }

Posting in the hope that it might help some poor soul. :)

So the correct onCreate() will always get called before onResume

Note: This answer only an additional one to complement the accepted answers.

As previous answers say:

onResume() will never be called before onCreate().

Below the complete image of Activity lifecycle including Fragment Lifecycle from android-lifecycle:

the activity has its own lifecycle . just read and look at the nice graph here:

onResume doesn't suppose to run before onCreate , so you assume correctly .
