How to know when Parse.initialize() has already been called?

Question

Right now I am using a static boolean to tell when the initialization has occurred. Is there an easier way to know that I have already called initialize?

Thank you!!

If you, like me, for some reason can not use custom Application class, just surround the init method with try/catch, like this:

private void initParse() {
    try {
        Parse.initialize(getApplication(), "some id here", "another id here");
        ParseInstallation.getCurrentInstallation().saveInBackground();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

That way it won't crash the whole app, and the SDK will still work, tested it.
