Android Application object life cycle

Question

I can\'t find the Application\'s object (extend Application) life cycle. For example, what happens if I have a broadcast receiver which is called through Alarm. Will methods

Answer 1

Look at it this way: before everything else, there is Application. It is created before your BroadcastReceiver, before your Activity instances, before your Service instances, etc. It doesn't matter whether anything is in the foreground. The application will be terminated when all of your Activity instances are gone, when you're out of your BroadcastReceiver and once your Service instances are terminated. There's no guarantee that it will be killed, but it is the last thing to go when the OS decided that your app must die.
