Who really calls the onCreate method in Android?

[Justin Johns]

I would like to know who really calls the onCreate method in android.I know that the super.onCreatemethod is called by the OnCreate method but who really calls the onCreate method in Android?

Here is the code:

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}

Also does android have any starting point as java have(static main entry point)?.From where android really starts it's execution?Could anyone help me.

Yes it has, and it calls onCreate (For Activity classes)

I think I recall asking something similar a while ago ...
Anyway, if you're using an IDE like Netbeans or Eclipse, its very easy to see who calls a method.

Create a breakpoint, debug the application and have a deek at the call stack.
If you're still a bit curious you can open the java source code and read the comments.
