After struggling with trying to figure out how various pieces fit together,I've done some research and put together the complete Android Activity/Fragmentlifecycle chart. This has two parallel lifecycles (activities and fragments)which are organized vertically by time. Lifecycle stages will occur in thevertical order in which they're displayed, across activities and fragments. Inthis way, you can see how your fragments interact with your activities.

This intentionally leaves off user-triggered callbacks (such asonOptionsItemSelected()), focusing on the lifecycle stages that are triggeredby the system, in order to keep the diagram more focused on the parts that arehard to follow.

The canonical format of the diagram is theDia file. It was then exportedto SVG, hand-tweaked to fix font sizes, and imported intoInkscape to do anSVG, PDF, and PNG render. I hope to find a better workflow for this going forward;patches always welcome.
