Compiler says “Variable might not have been initialized”, although I have a flag variable to guarantee it [duplicate]

Answer 1

You can change your declaration like this:

Someclass someObject = null;

Or you can do everything into the try-catch to be sure that someObject will be initialized properly

try {
    Someclass someObject = someOperation();
    int number = Integer.valueOf(someObject.someMethod());
} catch (Exception e) {
    //...
}
