Would it be possible (pretty please) to consider having the Initialize return the object in place of void.

Then all manor of wondrous things are possible eg

B4X: 
dim iv as ImageView
dim im as Image
im.Initialize("path","file.png")
iv.Initialize("someFunction")
iv.SetImage(im)

could become

B4X: 
dim iv as ImageView
dim im as Image
iv.Initialize("someFunction")
iv.SetImage(im.Initialize("path","file.png"))

Thank you.

Sorry if it's a lot of work, it's not really important, but gets closer to to the 'pure' Java way of using 'new' to create objects as you need them.

If I wanted really to ask for too much, I would ask for ImageView.iv.SetImage(Image.im.Initialize("somepath","somepic.jpg")) and get shot of the dim statements altogether
