Questions tagged [recreate]

recreate() is an Android SDK API method available from API lvl 11 (Android 3.0) that causes the calling Activity to be destroyed and recreated.

Official method documentation:

Cause this Activity to be recreated with a new instance. This results in essentially the same flow as when the Activity is created due to a configuration change -- the current instance will go through its lifecycle to onDestroy() and a new instance then created after it.

For more information about Android Activity lifecycle see http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html
