i have read the thread Application life cycle but 1 thing is not clear to me.

On first start the Application_Start will be raised. this will be raised only once when the process starts.
now i would like to know if at the first time the process starts will ALWAYS also the Page Resize event be raised?

i know that the resize event will also be raised in different scenario like an incoming call but i just need to know if at process start it will always be raised because i am using a boolean FIRSTTIME in it and change it to false but i need to do some stuff when it is true and i am doing it in the resize event.

thanx, ilan

yes, it happends when the app becomes visible.

and it's the only place/way you can rely on the screen dimensions.

on app start they can be wrong sometimes.

the boolean method works fine as I used it like that aswell

B4X:
Private Sub Page1_Resize(Width As Int, Height As Int)
    If initializeDone=False Then
        remove_Ads=False
        ads.Initialize
        game.Initialize(Page1)
        initializeDone=True
    End If
End Sub

I use this code in some of the examples when I want to run something after the page was resized once:
B4X:
Private Sub Application_Start (Nav As NavigationController)
...
If Page1.RootPanel.Width = 0 Or Page1.RootPanel.Height = 0 Then
        Wait For Page1_Resize(Width As Int, Height As Int)
End If
'page size will be correct at this point. Do remember that it can later change.
'do whatever you need here

End Sub
