Android Question Can somebody explain "process_globals" and "globals"

[Konradsson]

Hello, I'm completely new to the forum. I can't wrap my head around the difference between "process_globals" and "globals".

Process_Globals contains variables that are declared when the application starts.
Globals contains variables that are declared when the activity is created.
To me, this is the same thing!

Can somebody please explain?

Process_Global variables can be accessed from any Activity, Global variables can be accessed only in the Activity where they are declared.
Have you read chapter 9 Process and Activity life cycle in the Beginner's Guide ?

I would change the name Globals to Module_Variables (keeping Process_Globals)

Thank you Klaus, I'm gonna go read the Beginner's Guide now!
