15.5 Restoring the State
The saved dynamic state can be restored in those lifecycle methods that are passed the Bundle object as an argument. This leaves the developer with the choice of using either onCreate() or onRestoreInstanceState(). The method to use will depend on the nature of the activity. In instances where state is best restored after the activity’s initialization tasks have been performed, the onRestoreInstanceState() method is generally more suitable. For the purposes of this example we will add code to the onRestoreInstanceState() method to extract the saved state from the Bundle using the “savedText” key. We can then display the text on the editText component using the object’s setText() method:
@Override
protected void onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onRestoreInstanceState(savedInstanceState);
Log.i(TAG, "onRestoreInstanceState");
