Hello, I have a lateinit variable that is initialized in init() but when I call the function doSomething() I have the exception "lateinit property c has not been initialized". I don't really get why as it has been initialized before. This is on Android. Thank you

Nothing guarantees that the init function is called before doSomething

[Tsvetozar Bonev]

Maybe you wanted to use the init {} block instead?

[Romain]

Indeed when I use the init block and pass the context to the constructor it's working. Thanks !

But then you don't need a lateinit any more.
