Answer 1

A static variable is associated with the lifecycle of class. Once an activity is destroyed than that static variable will also be cleaned up.

If you still want to access that variable you have 2 options:-

1. override onSaveInstanceState and save the required variables and restore it in onRestoreInstanceState
2. Store the variables in Application class and access it anywhere anytime.
