Frequent Question: Is First Time Launch in Android?
Contents

How do I find out when I opened my app for the first time?

You can e.g. use a sharedPreference-object to store a boolean value that tells you if this is the first time the user opens the application. Check the preference when the user starts the application, and if it returns true then show the middle screen.

How do you launch an activity only once for the first time?

It is important to check that the first activity which opens when the app is launched is MainActivity. java (The activity which we want to appear only once). For this, open the AndroidManifest. xml file and ensure that we have the intent-filter tag inside the activity tag that should appear just once.
