 For most people using an app built from the react-native template, that means editing `MainActivity.java`, likely located in `android/app/src/main/java/<your package name>/MainActivity.java`
 
 You should add this code, which specifically discards any Activity state persisted during the Activity restart process, to avoid inconsistencies that lead to crashes.
+Please note that the override code should not be placed inside `MainActivityDelegate`, but rather directly in `MainActivity`.
 
 ```java
 import android.os.Bundle;
 
-@Override
-protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
-    super.onCreate(null);
+public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity {
+
+    //...code
+
+    //react-native-screens override
+    @Override
+    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
+        super.onCreate(null);
+    }
+
+    public static class MainActivityDelegate extends ReactActivityDelegate {
+        //...code
+    }
 }
 ```
