What side effects can be associated with the lifecycle stages of a function or object?

Side effects related to the lifecycle stages of functions or objects in Android include:

• Memory leaks: For example, if an object or function retains a reference to the Activity context after it has been destroyed, it leads to a memory leak.
• Unpredictable UI behavior: If UI updates occur at inappropriate lifecycle moments (e.g., after onDestroy), the app may crash.
• Data loss: Incorrect state saving in lifecycle methods (onPause, onStop) can result in data loss.
• Thread safety violations: Performing long operations on the main thread can cause freezes.

For example, if an asynchronous task is started in onCreate() that updates the UI after completion, but the Activity has already been destroyed, it will cause an error. Therefore, it is important to consider the lifecycle when working with functions and objects.
