<p style="margin:0px 0px 1.2em!important">Revisiting some Google and Firebase stuff Summers and I realized the Firebase Android SDK doesn’t need we do any <code style="font-size:0.85em;font-family:Consolas,Inconsolata,Courier,monospace;margin:0px 0.15em;padding:0px 0.3em;white-space:pre-wrap;border:1px solid rgb(234,234,234);background-color:rgb(248,248,248);border-radius:3px;display:inline">init</code> to the lib starts/be configured.</p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 1.2em!important">TL;DR what Firebase does is uses a Content Provide[1] (not really created for this) as a trick to initialize the lib before the app starts</p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 1.2em!important">Why Content provider?</p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 1.2em!important">Because it has access to the <code style="font-size:0.85em;font-family:Consolas,Inconsolata,Courier,monospace;margin:0px 0.15em;padding:0px 0.3em;white-space:pre-wrap;border:1px solid rgb(234,234,234);background-color:rgb(248,248,248);border-radius:3px;display:inline">applicationContext</code>[2] and is called <em>before</em> all other Android kinds of stuff in the Android lifecycle (including Application)</p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 1.2em!important">I’d like to do the same for our Android SDK and initialize the lib using the same trick so we can provide a <code style="font-size:0.85em;font-family:Consolas,Inconsolata,Courier,monospace;margin:0px 0.15em;padding:0px 0.3em;white-space:pre-wrap;border:1px solid rgb(234,234,234);background-color:rgb(248,248,248);border-radius:3px;display:inline">MobileCore.getInstance()</code> already configured with all the things the developer needs (Logger, HttpLayer, Mobile Services info, etc…) without need to create an application class or call <code style="font-size:0.85em;font-family:Consolas,Inconsolata,Courier,monospace;margin:0px 0.15em;padding:0px 0.3em;white-space:pre-wrap;border:1px solid rgb(234,234,234);background-color:rgb(248,248,248);border-radius:3px;display:inline">MobileCore.init(context)</code> anywhere and kill all static methods we have today in <code style="font-size:0.85em;font-family:Consolas,Inconsolata,Courier,monospace;margin:0px 0.15em;padding:0px 0.3em;white-space:pre-wrap;border:1px solid rgb(234,234,234);background-color:rgb(248,248,248);border-radius:3px;display:inline">MobileCore</code></p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 1.2em!important">It will also allow us to send the default metrics before the Android lifecycle starts the app and have some controls (when need) to know when the app is in background and foreground, listeners possible crashes and other things without the developer needs to call/configure anything.</p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 1.2em!important">PS: This is will probably be the first step to kill the responsibility to the <code style="font-size:0.85em;font-family:Consolas,Inconsolata,Courier,monospace;margin:0px 0.15em;padding:0px 0.3em;white-space:pre-wrap;border:1px solid rgb(234,234,234);background-color:rgb(248,248,248);border-radius:3px;display:inline">MobileCore</code> instantiate the Service Modules[3]</p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 1.2em!important">Any thoughts?</p>
