The Android activity life cycle defines the states or events that an activity goes
through from its creation until its end, The activity monitors and reacts to these
events by executing methods that override the activity class methods for each
event.
The intent generally consists of activities to be done, the parameter over which
this activity is to be performed and the application to perform this action.
Intents can be either explicit or implicit. An explicit intent calls a specific service
or activity explicitly; whereas an implicit intent just gives the definition of the
required service.
An Intent object is a bundle of information which is used by the component that
Teceives the intent as well as information used by the Android system. An intent
filter is an expression in an app's manifest file that specifies the type of intents
that the component would like to receive.
Various methods of Activity life cycle includes onCreate(), onStart(), onResume(),
onPause(), onStop(), onDestroy() and onRestart(.
Intents are asynchronous messages which allow application
