Depends on the type of variable. There are some things (e.g. Views) that are not available until the layout is initialized. For others (e.g. resources) you need a Context so you’d have to wait until
onCreateas well.If you just want to define an integer or a String, namely, stuff that doesn’t depend on the Android framework, go nuts.
