How is multitasking organized in Android?

Android applications consist of several components. There are four types of components: Activities, Services, Broadcast receivers And Content providers.
Activities represent graphic user interface for a specific task. For example, an SMS application may have one activity for displaying a list of contacts, one for creating a message, etc. An Activity can be in one of three states:
1. Active or running – in this state it is in the foreground and interacts with the user;
2. Paused – is in the background, but visible to the user, for example, partially blocked by a new activity;
3. Stopped – completely blocked by another activity. But it still retains its state, although it is completely hidden from the user.

In the Paused and Stopped states, the activity can be unloaded from memory. A situation may arise when the user, returning to the unloaded activity, would like to see it in the state in which he left it. This is possible if you call the onSaveInstanceState() method before unloading the activity, and call the onRestoreInstanceState() method when restoring or creating the activity. In this case, it is possible to save the current (at the time of unloading) activity state. Here we can draw an analogy with the hibernation mode in PC OS.
