How can I draw a picture like this :

http://developer.android.com/images/activity_lifecycle.png

Does the marker of this picture use some kind of software from an online drawing picture website?

Because of the appearance, I don't think this picture is created by yEd, visio and XMind.

    This question looks to be off-topic. StackOverflow is meant for programming problems, not recommendations for diagramming software. At a glance I'd say that picture was made in Visio (Which is expensive), but there are tons of free diagramming tools out there. – Jason Baker Nov 03 '14 at 06:34
  • As you can see from [Wikipedia: List of Unified Modeling Language tools](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unified_Modeling_Language_tools) some tools create just drawings, only pictures, while some tools create real UML models in the [XMI](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML_Metadata_Interchange) format which can be used to generate code, refactor the model or generate cross-reference documentation etc. The tools you have mentioned fall into the "just pictures" category – xmojmr Nov 04 '14 at 11:59

Hey here is very nice tool which you can use online as well as chrome extension.

http://www.gliffy.com/

You can draw different types of diagrams as you want. I personally used as chrome extension. This tool is totally free.

Sample drawing

You can have more customize colors for object, object border, lines, text etc. Good luck.
