Is it possible to avoid calling onPause and onStop methods in the application lifecycle?

No, it is not possible to completely avoid calling onPause() and onStop() because they are part of the Activity lifecycle and are called by the system in specific situations (e.g., when transitioning to another app, locking the screen).

However, you can minimize their impact and processing within them by moving resource-intensive operations to other lifecycle methods or managing state with ViewModel.

In general, the system guarantees that onPause() is called when the Activity leaves the foreground. onStop() is called when the Activity becomes invisible to the user. It is only in very rare and non-standard scenarios, related to crash termination or specific system optimizations, that these methods might be skipped.
