在activity的生命週期中，只要離開了可見階段，或者說失去了焦點，activity就很可能被進程終止了！，被KILL掉了，，這時候，就需要有種機制，能保存當時的狀態，這就是savedInstanceState的作用。
當一個Activity在PAUSE時，被kill之前，它可以調用onSaveInstanceState()來保存當前activity的狀態信息（在paused狀態時，要被KILLED的時候）。用來保存狀態信息的Bundle會同時傳給兩個method,即onRestoreInstanceState() and onCreate().
示例代碼如下：
package com.myandroid.test;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
public class AndroidTest extends Activity {
private static final String TAG = "MyNewLog";
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// If an instance of this activity had previously stopped, we can
// get the original text it started with.
if(null != savedInstanceState)
{
int IntTest = savedInstanceState.getInt("IntTest");
String StrTest = savedInstanceState.getString("StrTest");
Log.e(TAG, "onCreate get the savedInstanceState+IntTest="+IntTest+"+StrTest="+StrTest);
}
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Log.e(TAG, "onCreate");
}
@Override
public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Save away the original text, so we still have it if the activity
// needs to be killed while paused.
savedInstanceState.putInt("IntTest", 0);
savedInstanceState.putString("StrTest", "savedInstanceState test");
super.onSaveInstanceState(savedInstanceState);
Log.e(TAG, "onSaveInstanceState");
}
@Override
public void onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onRestoreInstanceState(savedInstanceState);
int IntTest = savedInstanceState.getInt("IntTest");
String StrTest = savedInstanceState.getString("StrTest");
Log.e(TAG, "onRestoreInstanceState+IntTest="+IntTest+"+StrTest="+StrTest);
}
}
