How to use Realm Swift Init

Question

I am trying to use the init for Realm in Swift. I have tried the following

override init(value: AnyObject) { 
    super.init() 
    println("this is not called") 
} 

required init() { 
    super.init() 
    println("this is called") 
}

I want to be able to pass an object into the initializer, however, I can't get the first function to be called.

My solution in Swift 3

Custom initializer:

class Branches: Object {

    dynamic var key: String = NSUUID().uuidString
    dynamic var formattedAddress: String = ""
    dynamic var latitude: Double = 0.0
    dynamic var longitude: Double = 0.0


 convenience init(formattedAddress: String, latitude: Double, longitude: Double) {
    self.init()
    self.formattedAddress = formattedAddress
    self.latitude = latitude
    self.longitude = longitude
 }

 override static func primaryKey() -> String? {
    return "key"
  }
}
