In Android (most often in the Kotlin context), the lazy() function is used for lazy initialization of variables. The call to lazy() occurs at the moment of property definition, but the lambda passed to lazy is executed only upon the first access to that property. Thus, the code inside lazy executes in the context of the first access to the value, not when the object or class is created.

Example:

val myValue: String by lazy {
    println("Calculating value")
    "Hello, World!"
}

fun main() {
    println("Before first access")
    println(myValue) // The lambda inside lazy is called here
    println(myValue) // The value has already been calculated, lambda is not called again
}

In this example, the lambda inside lazy will be executed only once, at the first access to myValue.
