/**
 * <p>Demonstrates required behavior of saving and restoring dynamic activity
 * state, so that an activity will restart with the correct state if it is
 * stopped by the system.</p>
 *
 * <p>In general, any activity that has been paused may be stopped by the system
 * at any time if it needs more resources for the currently running activity.
 * To handle this, before being paused the
 * {@link android.app.Activity#onSaveInstanceState onSaveInstanceState()} method is called before
 * an activity is paused, allowing it to supply its current state.  If that
 * activity then needs to be stopped, upon restarting it will receive its
 * last saved state in
 * {@link android.app.Activity#onCreate}.</p>
 * <p>In this example we are currently saving and restoring the state of the
 * top text editor, but not of the bottom text editor.  You can see the difference
 * by editing the two text fields, then going to a couple different
 * applications while the demo is running and then returning back to it.  The
 * system takes care of saving a view's state as long as an id has been
 * assigned to the view, so we assign an ID to the view being saved but not
 * one to the view that isn't being saved.</p>
