How do I initiate a method within main activity from an onInit?

Question

I need to know code to fix my example below to initiate a method within my activity.

Code:

 public void onInit(int status) {

     HowDoIStartThisMethodCorrectly?(); <-- because this doesn't start that method.

}

I need a method within my main activity to run when program starts, so I add to onCreate my onInit method, but it's not working.

Answer 1

Only the code in onCreate() is guaranteed to run:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    PUTYOURMETHODHERE();

} 

Or you could do:

 @Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    onInit();

} 

public void onInit() {

    HowDoIStartThisMethodCorrectly?(); <-- because this doesn't start that method.

}
