Q: 

Pressing Home triggers onCreate

I have an Activity that has a GLSurfaceView.

I'm struggling to rewrite it so that I don't go to black screen after Home button, or coming back from a startActivityForResult ...

Ignoring that part, why does this happen:

I press Home button, and the following methods are triggered.

onSaveInstanceState onPause() onStop() onDestroy() onCreate() onStart() onResume() onPause() onStop()

All within an instant. It seems that it pauses/stops the Activity, then creates a new one, then pauses/stops that?

Why?
