I was reading Chapter 3 on "Monitoring State Changes" of page 80 and saw a possible error on Figure 3.7.

I think the state block "onSaveInstanceState" and "onRestoreInstanceState" should be reversed as it doesn't make sense to save instance state after onCreate, likewise, it doesn't make sense to restore instance state after onResume.

I will submit this possible error.

thanks

Eeek! You're right, that's an error that slipped through. My apologies and thanks for pointing it out to us.

Thanks Reto for your prompt reply.

Despite these errors, this is still the best book on Android so far.
Keep it going!
I will keep my questions/comments coming while going through this book.

thanks!

I have the third printing, and now Figure 3-7 has Activity.onRestoreInstanceState occuring after Activity.onCreate and Activity.onResume.

Time for another Errata?
