This has always confused me...
When the program starts-up, it runs the Activity_Create routine and then it runs the Activity_Resume sub when it hits the end of Activity_Create.
This is what it says in the manual.
If I make the smallest program one can make, a "Hello World" program.
It calls Activity_Resume after calling Activity_Create.
But... isn't it normal to do a
if FirstTime then
else
end if
in the Activity_Create routine... and wouldn't it be the same thing to put your code for Activity_Resume in the else part of the FirstTime if/then?
Is there some time that the system runs the Activity_Resume without first running Activity_Create?
Couldn't you just do all your Activity_Resume stuff after the FirstTime if/then, or is there some exception where it runs Activity_Resume without calling Activity_Create?
...
Or, is it because you MIGHT need to do MORE stuff than you did the very first time... so you put THAT stuff in the Activity_Resume area. I kind of get why you have two routines.
