custom android.app.Application not firing onCreate event

Question

I\'m deriving a custom application from android.app.Application and I can\'t get its onCreate event being fired. Here\'s the implementation

import android.ap         


        

Answer 1

You don't actually create instances of your Activities with the newoperator. Instead you start an Intent like this:

Intent start = new Intent(context, Classname.class);
context.startActivity(start);

When creating an object with the new operator, then onCreate never will be called.

[EDIT] When creating Applications with the new operator onCreate won't be called either[/EDIT]

[EDIT2] You could create a static method that returns the application like this:

public static MyApplication getApp() {
    return mInstance;
}
