Initializer

Kotlin |Java

interface Initializer<T : Any!>

Initializers can be used to initialize libraries during app startup, without the need to use additional android.content.ContentProviders.

Summary

Public methods
abstract T	`create(@NonNull context: Context)` Initializes and a component given the application `Context`
abstract MutableList<Class<out Initializer<*>!>!>	`dependencies()`

@NonNull abstract fun create(@NonNull context: Context): T

Initializes and a component given the application Context

Parameters
`context`	Context: The application context.

@NonNull abstract fun dependencies(): MutableList<Class<out Initializer<*>!>!>

Return
`MutableList<Class<out Initializer<*>!>!>`	A list of dependencies that this `Initializer` depends on. This is used to determine initialization order of `Initializer`s. For e.g. if a `Initializer` `B` defines another `Initializer` `A` as its dependency, then `A` gets initialized before `B`.
