Android scenario where ondestroy() is called without onpause() or onstop()

Question

A few days back I was asked to write down scenarios where ondestroy() is called without onpause() or onstop() being called. Is it possible. If yes please explain.

Answer 1

This is possible when we call finish() directly in an activity. When finish() is called in an activity, onDestroy() is executed and it does following things:

1. Dismiss any dialogs the activity was managing.
2. Close any cursors the activity was managing.
3. Close any open search dialog
