by the Android runtime system.

methods:
• 1. onCreate(): This is the first method called when the activity is created.
• 2. onStart(): Called when the activity becomes visible to the user.
• 3. onResume(): This method is called when the activity starts interacting
with the user
• onPause(): Called when the activity is about to go into the background

• onRestart(): Called after the activity has been stopped and is about to
be restarted.

destroyed.
