13,125 PointsQuestion about where to put code
How come at times, we put the code inside the onCreate method but at other times, we put it right underneath it after the curly brace has closed? I'm confused because there are times when Ben says let's put this in the onCreate method, but the code written is outside of the onCreate method.

Courses Plus Student 7,323 PointsCould you possible give an example of one of these code samples you mention? Generally there shouldn't be code outside of either the onCreate() method or some other method within the class - except for all your instance variable declarations etc. at the top.

I would recommend reading these two links. They are very helpful on the description of the syntax for Methods and Classes. Hope this helps!
