Android: First run popup dialog

Question

I am trying to make a popup dialog that only shows after the app\'s first run that will alert users of the new changes in the app. So I have a dialog popup like this:

Answer 1

I use this to display a help dialog on first run. I don't want this to show after an update. That is better suited for a changelog.

private void doFirstRun() {
        SharedPreferences settings = getSharedPreferences(PREFS_NAME, MODE_PRIVATE);
        if (settings.getBoolean("isFirstRun", true)) {
            showDialog(DIALOG_HELP);
            SharedPreferences.Editor editor = settings.edit();
            editor.putBoolean("isFirstRun", false);
            editor.commit();
        }
}
