Even though the interviewer is asking you very specific technical questions, you should not assume they have a strong technical background. They may be reading from a script or using questions fed to them by people more familiar with this profession. Therefore, always remember to use simple, easy-to-understand language when responding to the interviewer's question. This will ensure that they understand your answer and prevent you from embarrassing them if they don't.

"The function known as OnsurfaceCreated is a common feature of video games created for the Android environment. It is called every time a drawing surface is created. This can happen when the game starts or becomes active after being sent to the background after the user opens up another application. It is also called when the orientation of the user's devise changes. Each of these activities causes the loss of the context of the game. Every asset is lost and needs to be recreated. All assets and application objects are recreated at the place the game was at when the context changed."
