onCreate() and onCreateView() invokes a lot more than required (Fragments)

Question

Can somebody explain why the onCreate() and onCreateView() are being invoked so many times which increments with each orientation change?

Answer 1

An orientation change causes the system to go through the process of saving instance state, pausing, stopping, destroying, and then creating a new instance of the activity with the saved state. So this is the reason why there is so much onCreate and onCreateView calls.

I do not think the if (savedInstanceState == null) condition in the onCreate method is a good idea; the state-saving mechanism will not work properly...
