Android Question Starter Service Alternative in B4XPage

[ProjectGroup19]

Greetings Community,

I'm getting started with B4XPages. I'm trying to convert my B4A app to B4XPages. @Erel recommends not to use the starter service. Where then, do i implement my keyValueStore values which are dependent to start my app.

Main Page

If Starter.kvs.get("user")<>"" And Starter.kvs.Get("pass")<>"" And Starter.kvs.Get("approved")="Yes"  Then
'Start dashbord
else
'Start Login
 End if

FireBase Notification

If Starter.kvs.Get("usertype")="Admin" Then
        fm.SubscribeToTopic("Admin") 
        Else
        fm.UnsubscribeFromTopic("Admin") '
    End If

Although you can still use starter in B4Xpages, I have used kvs where I initialize and use in B4XMainPage without using a starter. It works

Thank you. I will give it a try

@Erel recommends not to use the starter service

Not 100% correct. There are cases where you should still use the starter service. For example, if your app can start from a background service then you should use the starter service to prepare anything needed for the service.

What if I want to create for B4I or B4J which does not have the starter service. How do I go about it then?
