Android Question Can I initialize in the Globals section

[davepamn]

sub class_globals
dim oError as cErrorHandling
oError.initialize
end sub

The parser allows to initialize in the global section. It seems to work. However, when I tried this in a service module, it crashed my app. I had to remove the initialize from the globals section of the service module then it worked.

Services have a sub for that:

Sub Service_Create
    'initializing code
End Sub

The globals subs should only be used for variables declaration and optionally assignments of primitives or strings.

If you initialize a class in the globals in a service module, the application on the client crashes, in debug.

 

[Erel]

As I wrote you should initialize any object in the globals sub.

bug report

Once I removed the initialize and put it in the start services section, the code worked

Sorry I intended to write: You should not initialize any object in the globals subs.

Hi Erel,
I was somewhat confused when I read your answer in post #5 .

I remove all my initialize calls out of global in all modules.

The parser should warn the user that initialize is not allowed in the global sections
