@Lew on 3/14: +many Why, oh why, do people insist on lazy initialization? A lot of the debate about singletons ignores specifics. I bet nobody has a problem with:
public static final String MY_CONSTANT = "CONSTANT"; That's a singleton. Singletons that are mutable are weirder. Lazily initialized singletons that are mutable are the devil's tools. Further, as I point out here: http://portabledroid.wordpress.com/2012/05/04/singletons-in-android/ "Singleton" is a relative term. There is nearly no such thing as a singleton (well, maybe the earth, or the sun, or something like that). There are only singletons in context. I have come to see many of the problem devs have with singletons not as a discussion of singletons themselves, but as a misunderstanding of the context in which they are singletons. -blake -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
