Question

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
static{
// dosomething
}


@Override

Answer 1

To answer your question, the static block, then the onCreate method.

A class is loaded like this

• First, any thing static, in the order it is defined.
• Then, anything non static.
• Then, a contructor

• Then, instance methods can be called.

  public class Example {

  public static int FIRST = 1;
  
  static {
      // second
  }
  
  public int third = 3;
  
  {
      // forth
  }
  
  public Examle(){
      // fifth
  }
  
  public void sixth(){
  }
  

  }
