Android Question Initialization errors

[tsteward]

My very large app works great most of the time.
If the app is not closed and is left in the background sometimes when you run it again I get certain object have not been initialized error.

I cant get this to happen in debug mode so its not always easy to find,

I was wondering what is the best practice in this case.
Is it better to check and initialize on the Activity_Resume sub rather than Activity_Create?
Should my app somehow expire after a certain time period?

Initialize all public process global variables in Service_Create of the Starter service.

Initialize all public process global variables in Service_Create of the Starter service.

Ok being an older app until the earlier this week I hadn't added Starter service, but have now.

I think the initialization problem I'm having is for thing like Ultimate list view or sliding menu etc where I only have them on some activities not all.
There are about 12 activities in total, I create and initialize each library when opening said activity.
So I can't do it in the Service_Create, can I?

You don't need to. Just make sure they are always initialized when the activity is created.
