I have a problem.
When I start for the first time my android application, in the main activity both the onCreate
and the onResume
are called. but I want to be called only the onCreate.
What can I do?

According to the SDK docs what you are seeing is the intended behavior. Have a look at the flowchart in the docs for Activity - Activity Lifecycle.
Programmatically you can overcome this by keeping an instance member to track whether onResume has been called before - the first time it is called, set the variable and return e.g.
private boolean resumeHasRun = false;
@Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
if (!resumeHasRun) {
resumeHasRun = true;
return;
}
// Normal case behavior follows
}
The correct answer is to use Activity
's onRestart()
method. This is probably what you have been looking for.
You can't do anything, as this is how the Activity lifecycle works.
See http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals/activities.html#Lifecycle for a diagram that shows the lifecycle.
As you can see in the API the Activity Lifecycle always calls onResume before showing the activity. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html#ActivityLifecycle
I guess you could make a global boolean for a first access and set it to false. Then override the onResume and check the variable. If false, set it to true and return, if true, call super.onResume.
Should work, but I don't know if it can be handled simpler and I don't have access to the sdk here to test it.
