Check if application is on its first run [duplicate]

Answer 1

The following is an example of using SharedPreferences to achieve a 'forWhat' check.

    preferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context);
    preferencesEditor = preferences.edit();
public static boolean isFirstRun(String forWhat) {
    if (preferences.getBoolean(forWhat, true)) {
        preferencesEditor.putBoolean(forWhat, false).commit();
        return true;
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}
