I switched from eclipse to android studio recently. During coding i got some strange behavior. I am having boolean variable where i am passing to if condition like this.

boolean permissionGranted;
if(permissionGranted){
//Do work
}else{
}

It works fine with eclipse. But in android studio it ask me to initialize boolean variable;

As per my understanding by default boolean varaible will be intialized to false. Still studio asking me to intialize by myself. What could be the reason behind this?

is your boolean a class member? or is it declared inside a method? – Sarthak Mittal Oct 28 '15 at 05:36
Studio is very good to show warnings, have you checked in eclipse by running the application it might thought error while compilation. Simple solution initialize the variables . – Piyush Agarwal Oct 28 '15 at 05:37
It's declared inside method; Just try in studio. – Madhukar Hebbar Oct 28 '15 at 05:37
Its not Android Studio problem and responsibility to initialize the variable, Not at all IDE side its all about java. – Piyush Agarwal Oct 28 '15 at 05:39
as far as i remember, method variables are not initialized automatically, only class fields get initialized to their respective default values – Sarthak Mittal Oct 28 '15 at 05:39
Eclipse should complain about that, too. Either way, it is an error, won't compile and you have to fix it. – Thilo Oct 28 '15 at 05:42
