Answer 1

You should not place any of your code before super.onPause(), cause this method lets the system do what it needs to do to properly pause your application. Any code you want to execute in the onPause() callback should be placed after the call to super.onPause(). Hope this helps.

Quote from Activities:

Note: Your implementation of these lifecycle methods must always call the superclass implementation before doing any work, as shown in the examples above.
