Had to chip in with this link to a thread with an identical subject:

super.onResume() at beginning or end of method? Does it matter?

Note the quote from Dianne Hackborn

Yeah this is a good pattern. In most cases it probably doesn't matter, but it's a general rule: during any kind of initialization, let the super class do their work first; during any kind of finalization, you do your work first.
