Demonstrates required behavior of saving and restoring dynamic activity * state, so that an activity will restart with the correct state if it is * stopped by the system.

* *

In general, any activity that has been paused may be stopped by the system * at any time if it needs more resources for the currently running activity. * To handle this, before being paused the * {@link android.app.Activity#onSaveInstanceState onSaveInstanceState()} method is called before * an activity is paused, allowing it to supply its current state. If that * activity then needs to be stopped, upon restarting it will receive its * last saved state in * {@link android.app.Activity#onCreate}.

*

In this example we are currently saving and restoring the state of the * top text editor, but not of the bottom text editor. You can see the difference * by editing the two text fields, then going to a couple different * applications while the demo is running and then returning back to it. The * system takes care of saving a view's state as long as an id has been * assigned to the view, so we assign an ID to the view being saved but not * one to the view that isn't being saved.
