I've recently started learning Android (after completing Java EE), and come across a reference variable (savedInstanceState) of a class named Bundle, passed as an argument in the method called onCreate. I've been pondering upon it for quite a while and cannot find any relevant answer! Help?

It's the bundle that you modify in `savedInstanceState()` on orientation changes. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/151777/saving-android-activity-state-using-save-instance-state – DeeV Mar 15 '17 at 19:32

onCreate method is responsible to launch the activity and bundle class is a kind of data structure which stores the data used previously if some disturbance occurs in during using that activity (like you rotated the phone if someone called you ) with the help of reference variable savedinstancestate and you can now access the previous data that means you will start from there where picked up the phone.
