Q qsrtech Active Member Licensed User Longtime User May 19, 2015 #1 I noticed a lot of objects have an Initialize2 and even 3 or 4, but I can't seem to make this work within my classes. I tried calling the main Initialize, kinda like inheritance but it doesn't seem to work. I realize we can add parameters to the original Initialize but there is still no optional parameters feature. How does one go about doing this properly? Thanks.

Q qsrtech Active Member Licensed User Longtime User May 20, 2015 #3 I have to apologize. At first I was getting "Null" errors when trying to implement an Initialize2 method but everything seems to be working now. I don't know if it has something to do with forcing a complete recompile. Nevertheless it is working good so far. EDIT! Well unfortunately I have to take the apology back. I try to "Build release app" and compiler complains about a missing "," see attached [but runs fine in debug] Tried project clean. Funny thing is if I add a dummy parameter i.e. Initialize(Name,TargetModule,"") it complies fine but when app is run on device it crashes.

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User May 21, 2015 #5 You must first call the Initialize method. This is true in B4i, B4A and B4J. Upvote 0

Only the Initialize method is a "special" method. It will also fail in debug mode in some cases (depending on the state of the installed app compared to the current code). Upvote 0
