 /**
  * Lifecycle state for an Activity. The state right after pause and right before resume are the
  * basically the same so this enum is in terms of the forward lifecycle progression (onResume, etc).
- * Eventually, if necessary, it could contain something like:
  *
- * <p>BEFORE_CREATE, CREATED, VIEW_CREATED, STARTED, RESUMED
+ * <p>BEFORE_CREATE is used before a ReactRootView is attached to ReactInstanceManager, or after all
+ * the ReactRootView has been detached from the ReactInstanceManager.
+ *
+ * <p>BEFORE_RESUME is used after a ReactRootView is attached to ReactInstanceManager but before
+ * it's activity is resumed, or after its activity has been paused and before the ReactRootView has
+ * been detached from the ReactInstanceManager.
+ *
+ * <p>RESUMED is used when a ReactRootView is rendered on the screen and the user can interact with
+ * it.
