Is the method onSaveInstanceState(Bundle) called after onPause()?

Question

I'm new to android and I read a book for beginners which said that onSaveInstanceState(Bundle) is ensured to be called before the system reclaims your Activity. I tried it on some test codes and found it incorrect. I found that onSaveInstanceState(Bundle) was called every time after onPause() was called. And it has nothing to do with system reclaimation. I'm not very sure about it, so that's the question: when is onSaveInstanceState(Bundle) called actually?

Answer 1

I don't agree with a previous answer.
According to the Documentation:

If called, this method will occur before onStop(). There are no guarantees about whether it will occur before or after onPause().
