How to integrate Activity lifecycle with other Android components?

Integrating the Activity lifecycle with other Android components is crucial for creating responsive and well-behaved applications. Understanding how Activities interact with Fragments, Services, and Broadcast Receivers allows developers to effectively manage their application's resources and enhance user experiences.

Below is an example illustrating how to manage the Activity lifecycle alongside a Service in Android:

// Example of integrating Activity with a Service public class MyActivity extends AppCompatActivity { private MyService myService; private boolean isBound = false; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); } @Override protected void onStart() { super.onStart(); Intent intent = new Intent(this, MyService.class); bindService(intent, connection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE); } @Override protected void onStop() { super.onStop(); if (isBound) { unbindService(connection); isBound = false; } } private ServiceConnection connection = new ServiceConnection() { @Override public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName className, IBinder service) { MyService.LocalBinder binder = (MyService.LocalBinder) service; myService = binder.getService(); isBound = true; } @Override public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName arg0) { isBound = false; } }; }
