I can't reproduce this behavior with a minimal example though:

fun main() {
    Foo()
}

fun getString() = "hello"

fun doWithString(s: String, foo: Foo) {
    println(s)
    println(foo.x)
}

class Foo {

    val x: String = getString()

    init {
        doWithString(x, this)
    }

}

prints "hello" twice correctly

Like I said in the other thread: The code runs in the order it is written in the source code.

Are you saying in your case

findViewById

runs after

inflate

?

its not ambiguous

What crash d you see?

findViewById

execute before inflating the view will return

null

But I am really out of my water here with Android. So I'll 🤐

Which contain a view with the

id

findViewById

is trying to find

if the

layout

is not inflated,

findViewById

will return

null

So, that code should always throw a

NPE

There’s also an example in the docs (https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/classes.html): “During an instance initialization, the initializer blocks are executed in the same order as they appear in the class body, interleaved with the property initializers” So it shouldn’t be possible for your code to not crash 😕

Unless the base class does something that makes the

findViewById

not crash

Thanks for sharing though :)
