Having some issues with lateinit property and the recreation of a killed Activity and its fragments...
I'm initializing this property in Activity.onCreate(), then adding the Fragment, which uses this property in its onCreate()

When the Activity is recreated after being killed, it first creates its fragments again, causing Fragment.onCreate() to be called before the initialization in Activity.onCreate(). Is there any way to fix this, or is my design wrong?
I've posted this on SO as well: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48112311/lateinit-property-not-initialized-when-activity-is-re-created

Would it be possible to construct the property by lazy instead?

by lazy helped in my case, but I'm not sure if this can help in all cases in general 🤔
